Seems relevant to me. The article is from your organization, and that information is something I wouldn't have known if not for the prior commenter's comment.
What? c-sections are MUCH MUCH worse for the mother in every single metric including pain. C-section pain is longer and more severe than natural birth pain, and natural birth pain can be ameliorated which makes it even better - but even with no intervention at all natural birth pain is less than c-section pain.

If you are scheduling a c-section it means you are not trying for a natural birth and that means your outcome for the mother is strictly worse.
Those same guys are active here too.
Not so clever after all. I haven't even opened dev tools yet and I suspect this technique is why it stops working and gives many people the solid bar. The server probably just stops responding after too many failed requests. Oops!
What changed is that the M1 is causing them to lose the platform war. Performance-per-watt matters enough to users that Apple's incredible parsimony with the juice has effectively secured it both the desktop and the mobile markets.

Sure, yeah, MSFT sells an OS and a cloud -- both are actually pretty awesome these days. But they only got those things on the back of performant Intel silicon. Network effects did the rest, but those network effects were, as it were, tethered to the world by the quality (and modest cost) of the hardware it empowered.

I propose that, like a hurricane moving over land, a software-platform company that loses the first battle -- for the immediate hardware-mediated user experience -- is going to start unwinding.

We don't have to look far for examples. Facebook is currently in just such a death-spiral, in no small part because Apple --- now in a place to dictate terms --- decided its users would be better off with more privacy, and cut FB off from the flows of data it needed for targeted marketing and ML training.

The ability to simply shrug off a behemoth like FB (and leave said behemoth scrambling, vainly, to own the next hardware platform) should surely be enough to get any unbiased observer's attention.

Awareness of the Home-Hardware Advantage is, I imagine, also why my former employer foists Edge on everyone with dark patterns and nagware. They're afraid of Google creeping down the stack. (Like they did on mobile.)

Leaving Apple as gatekeeper for both the desktop and mobile is essentially to submit to Apple hegemony.

I no longer have a horse in this race, but from where I sit, it looks like Apple has outplayed everyone, and the market knows it. (Hence my original comment.)

What do you think Apple will do to Microsoft, once Microsoft products are primarily accessed over Apple devices?

What does anyone do to their competitor, once they can control where, and how, that competitor can talk to its customers?

It really feels like you're not looking at the chessboard at all.
How well did laws to stop isolated crazy people killing lots of people stop … um … a group of countries investing large amounts of money and years of time into planning and training for the largest single attack on a civilian target in history?

I mean sure, you could also ask how laws against shoplifting fail to stop bank robberies, and it would be just as coherent.

> I highly doubt you're a high performer.

They could also be young/naive, but.. yeah.

I'm old enough to have survived large layoffs a couple of times in my career. In both instances a very large number of the "top performing" survivors left the company within a couple of months.

Large layoffs tend to breed a sense of insecurity and insecurity tends to get the remaining people to scurry, and the first out the door are naturally going to be the ones with the most options because their skills are highly sought after.

Putting it in very superficial terms... assuming you manage to get it right with choosing the "Cs" and lower on the layoffs, the As generally bolt soon after and you end up with a company full of Bs. At least that tends to be how it goes in my real world experience.
There are lots of districts here in Missouri that have decided to make lunches (and breakfasts!) free for everyone in elementary and junior high school because the percentage of low-income families is high enough that that ends up being cheaper than wasting resources on means testing and collections. Regardless of how wealthy her parents are (or how difficult it is for her parents to fill out forms), you can't just not provide lunch to e.g. a 7yo who lost her money. Arguing with children about money doesn't contribute to the educational mission.

> Of course, the process of going through labor pains for many hours might make things even between the two...

It's not. Labor pain is more time limited and the mother is kind of "out of it", and doesn't usually remember it clearly - plus there's a prize at the end :)

C-section pain is worse, and it lasts several weeks exactly at a time when the mother needs to do stuff. It's worse in every way.

> Not involved in OpenSSL, but this is a fairly common pattern in a lot of C APIs.

A better approach IMHO, typically found in the Win32 API for example, is to take an extra argument which receives the buffer size needed to hold the whole output, in addition to the size of the buffer you pass.

This allows the caller to detect the condition and decide if it's an error or not if the required buffer size returned is greater than the size of the buffer, and potentially call it again with a sufficiently large buffer.

Depends. The number stamping process does change the metal’s underlying metallurgy throughout the the metal where it was stamped. So unless you drill out the number through the entire metal (which is viable if you’re going to extract the minerals), there’s a possibility of reconstructing the serial number with some level of probability.

Happens with guns.

But that’s why you criminalize the trade of unmarked parts. Actually makes the prosecutor’s job easy that way rather than proving the part was actually stolen and not your retirement cat investment.
If the answer was simply "they printed too much money out of thin air" then we wouldn't need experts to tell us what else it could have been.
So this is a bit annoying.

I use OpenWRT's Smart Queue Management package to avoid bufferbloat. Without it, sites like dslreports.net and fast.com show that my latency goes way up under load.

However, when I have SQM enabled, I see regular red blips with this tool. Disabling SQM makes the blips go away.

Strangely, even without SQM, latency as measured by this tool does not seem to change when I'm e.g. streaming a Youtube video in the background, as I would have expected given bufferbloat. (Does bufferbloat only apply to the specific packets being streamed?)
I have the opposite problem. My energy peaks in the mid-morning, which my workplace has set aside for meetings (partly because we have team members in an earlier time zone, and partly because the manager who set it up that way had a late evening energy peak).
So by the time I have an uninterrupted stretch of time, I’m often too drained to really get much done.
That's because the allergy medicine might as well just be methamphetamine. That's really more or less what it is, modulo a reduction step.

Sue for one, and really the whole of "whiteness studies." I don't know if that's CRT proper, but that's what I was refering to. I read some of "the future of whiteness" and some shorter articles posted in various "communications" journals. From Sue:

>Whiteness is an invisible veil that cloaks its racist deleterious effects through individuals, organizations, and society. The result is that White people are allowed to enjoy the benefits that accrue to them by virtue of their skin color. Thus, Whiteness, White supremacy, and White privilege are three interlocking forces that disguise racism so it may allow White people to oppress and harm persons of color while maintaining their individual and collective advantage and innocence.

Or from another "scholar"

>How can we account for the ways in which white people refuse to acknowledge their possessive investment in whiteness even as they work to increase its value everyday? We can't blame the color of our skin. It must be the content of our character.

I can't find it now, but I once read a passage from one of these CRT nutjobs' work that really shed light on their insanity. It went something like

>whiteness and white supremacy is not seen directly but rather is society itself. It is the tapestry we are woven of, and we are therefore blind to it. It exists even where it cannot be seen as it is the source of rather than a detail within society.

They are all somewhat careful with what they say. But their effect is real. They are turning being white into an evil, one that cannot be rectified but is an irremovable stain on one's being.

Of course there is this classic response: "I don't think white people are evil, just whiteness, which you are by necessity a part of because you directly contribute to it."
>we don't know exactly what would happen if something have changed

>This is an opinion.

>There is no proof that SpaceX couldn't work without govt help.

These are all refuted by Musk's own words. He literally said NASA bailed him out when they were so close to failure he thought he might have a mental breakdown. The irony is that your push against that seems to be your own opinion, that goes against his. I am also aware of the previous work with similar ideas, including others that you didn't mention. Yes, the ideas existed. However, there wasn't the right climate or the right timing to execute it. Hell, govt essentially subsidizing flight goes back to the Wright brothers competing for military contracts. In a sense, that's what changed the pursuit from hobbyists to professionals. I give all the credit to Musk for capitalizing on that when the timing was right. But that is conflating good business timing that secures govt support with being a good capitalist businessman, irrespective of govt support.

As to whether the govt is better off, I agree. I've already said that much in this discussion and elsewhere on the thread. But the same applies to when the govt bailed out GM to save a major manufacturing supply chain, or bailing out the financial sector during the housing crises. This feels very much like a strawman. I'm simply pointing out they benefit from a form of socialized risk; I'm not saying the effects of socialist policies are inherently bad.

So, to your statement about this is just how things work, I generally agree there as well. What I disagree on is when people pretend it's not so in order to justify a fairy tale of capitalistic virtue. I don't think it's wrong for the govt to support businesses like this; if you recall, my original post was simply refuting the framing of the problem as a false dichotomy between NASA and SpaceX while failing to recognize that the differences are actually part of the intent, not the result of some boondoggle.

I do think you may have had a knee-jerk reaction to my initial comment, which is understandable given the amount of Elon hate. Maybe if you re-read it with a critical eye and some emotional distance, you'll interpret it differently. It seems like the only part we really disagree on is the viability of SpaceX without govt support early. Sure, maybe there's a chance they would have still succeeded, but given Musk's own words on the matter, I highly doubt it. And I'm pretty happy they've done well.
90% of houses in Linkoping get heating from the power utility.

I think I posted a comment here about a family friend who had two heating circuits, one for the house and one for a pool which was only used/heated in the summers.
I think the first part is correct. There is probably an optimal rate of c-section which is materially higher than "strictly necessary" and optimizes for mom+baby health. What I am concerned about is the scheduled c-sections. For most births, there is not really a medically credible way to determine in advance that vaginal birth will be dangerous (as a relevant corrolary, consider that there is no way to meaningfully determine the weight of a baby prior to birth).

C-sections are scheduled in advance (sometimes over a month in advance) because the American medical system has optimized for cost reduction (which includes extreme risk aversion) rather than patient outcomes.
I never really appreciated the relationship and importance of bandwidth, latency and packet loss until I had to move a small office from all on-prem infrastructure to completely cloud based at a regional data centre, about 10 years ago. And I mean completely. locally we had firewall, router, riverbed, UPS that's it for max 40 people. No data at rest (besides riverbed cache) due to security.

We had ridiculous bandwidth for the time, which users knew, and they would often come and ask "why can I stream youtube in HD but accessing my document/file takes ages" (ages being anything more than 2-3 seconds). A perfectly valid question. The answer was usually "illegal fishing", or "sharks". If the primary sub-sea cable was cut, we'd have to route through another which would add at least 400ms round trip extra.

Luckily this was a well known risk/issue for our parent company who had a team dedicated to negotiating peering and routing between office locations and their nearest regional DCs (these were not azure, aws, etc. usually local IX or Teclco). But they couldn't do anything about the sharks :(.

It's interesting.

It's worked really well at Reddit where the attitude towards NFTs (or at least crypto) is similarly cynical.
It's not like you have to wait till the last second to decide that natural birth will be too risky. With regular sonograms it's entirely possible to note when a baby is in a risky position (feet down, umbilical wrapped around the neck for example) and decide to schedule the c-section. If the baby moves into a proper position then the c-section can be cancelled, but if not they can avoid a lot of complications. Also, there are likely lower error rates from having a well planned and orderly procedure instead of emergency ones. The mother and baby could be in much danger if she needs an emergency procedure right at shift change.
When you ping to the phone, you're probably running into the phone's power saving feature. When the phone generates the request, it stays powered up for a bit until the answer comes back, which is why you're not seeing the same random delay from blip.

Tangent but it occurred to me the other day that it takes 9 years before one experiences a birthday on every day of the week. Over the course of a lifetime maybe the dispersal evens out but it seems like some of us are just destined to have more birthdays on the weekend.
True, but that isn't relevant. I am saying it is a necessary but not sufficient condition for it to be murder. By definition, it must be unlawful, but it also must be premeditated.

I work as a systems engineer, so it always tickles me to see the rare SE-related link make the front page of HN.

I think my org is pretty good at the informal SE process described in TFA. We used to be more strict about it, and I definitely remember hearing the term "model-based systems engineering" when I was interviewing, and after I started. Fancy UML generator tools, the works. But we've gradually become more informal and I don't particularly feel like we've lost anything in the process.

One thing we are bad at, though, is onboarding. We have some very basic first-day-type documents, to get newbies started on domain knowledge. But the standards we hold employees to and how our work is done on a daily basis... is pretty much not written down at all! (actually some of it may be, but scattered throughout Wiki pages, probably out of date, and definitely no central document with all the necessary links...)

Incidental to TFA, my org generally considers people (like James) who can do both the software work and the SE work unicorns. I personally started on the SE side with almost no software ability, but gradually clawed my way up to a decent level of technical competency, and it continues to be my competitive advantage. I don't code on a daily basis, but I do fix bugs & work on small features every once in a while. I dream about setting up a crash course to get my colleagues on the same path I took (currently I'll take a few hours here and there to help individuals pick up the skills)

Kind of curious what other peoples' experience is on this point. Is it normal in other orgs for SEs to not also be good coders?

> you can't just not provide lunch to e.g. a 7yo who lost her money.

Right, and they don't. I forgot my lunch money frequently as a kid. The school always fed me anyway, after taking down my name to have a chat with my parents (to inquire if I needed to be signed up for free lunches, and to collect the debt since my parents could easily afford it.) They won't let you skip lunch.
>>This is far from universally true, and to the small degree that it is true, it is an aberration from the vast majority of human history.

I think you're interpreting my statement to suggest that people generally prioritize the public interest over their personal interest. I'm not. I'm only claiming that people, ceteris paribus, generally would prefer that society at large prosper. But they would not at their own expense.

>>What also comes to mind is the sociological study where they present two people with $100 to split between them.

This is very true.

Thiel famously believes in Rene Girard's theory that jealousy emerges from the mimetic instinct, and that religious admoninations against it are a social innovation to constrain the dark side of mimesis:
