nope. plenty of stress, long hours, tons of work.

I meant REST, and I don't know what you might mean by "RESET". REST isn't an API; it's the architectural style describing how the WWW works. Check out Roy Fielding's dissertation, "Architectural Styles and

> you can even run it on a Raspberry Pi!

Here in India so many of us want to do this but almost everyone is behind CGNAT. I know there are solutions that exist like cloudflare tunnels but I just wish I could host at home without any third party.
At last hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Big question for me is who is going to build it?
I think back 15 years or so ago, multimode fibre and optics were quite substantially cheaper. Given that you could still get several hundred metres to over a kilometer with the slower speeds available at the time, it probably was worthwhile. But by the time I got into fibre stuff SMF was not much more expensive, so I've always just used it by default.
You're saying the solution is to have every website in existence find all these IPs and then request that their ISP block them? That sounds like a lot of work.

Sure it's a good idea to allow requesting the blocks. But changing the reflection sources themselves so they can't be used for reflection anymore is also a good idea.
> It's because the new brand far-right politicians that have shown up, and are popular, are nothing but empty populists.

That's half of it, yeah. The other half is the centrist technocratic hegemony exploiting the situation to malign the working-class-power left in the same stroke.
Being needs no justification. Hedonism is bound to leave you jaded. Minimise your possessions. Purge out the old leaven.
Often these “revolutionary” changed get deconstructed and co-opted. Not always a bad thing. Looking through a video he did about this paper, I see a few things that could be popped out.

SRPT (shortest remaining processing time) is there any reason this couldn’t be implemented as a LAN protocol?

Receiver driven congestion control: isn’t this what the transmit window does? Are we not just talking about setting a more aggressive starting value?

“sends packets in any order” and “can only send the first few packets without a grant (ack)” are fighting each other. Especially if you’re building a message oriented protocol, which tends to have shorter conversations. This reads as confused or schizophrenic.

I think of what us being said here is that the Berkeley socket protocol sucks, and that a different one can get from user space to response faster. Great. But do you have to change the wire protocol for that or just introduce a better system call library? This part in particular reads a lot like , “what if Erlang was right and we implemented it at the kernel level?” Which is not a bad question to ask.
> Hate Central and a megaphone for Putin

That doesn't sound objective at all & a diminishing number of people subscribe to that narrative.

> it’s harder for a motivated bad actor to have a global impact

Most of the world (most of Eurasia, the Global South, & many in the West) consider the current hegemonic power as the "motivated bad actor"...and the actions/reactions of the hegemonic power only prove their point. Soon the hegemonic power will no longer be in charge. As the hegemon loses influence, those who were once not inclined to speak about the situation will start talking about it...which is what we are seeing right now.

The hegemon will want to cling to it's power by suppressing the speech of those who say things that undermine the hegemon's position...

Interesting bit of history that's relatively unknown: APL was originally an attempt by Iverson to create a uniform and systematic mathematical notation. It was only after he'd designed the notation that it was turned into a programming language. This helps explain APLs quirks, and perhaps the limit of popularity it hit.
It can be used for microblogging, but it's set up well for proper blogging, and doesn't e.g. char limit you.

Google is using remote memory accesses rather than TCP for at least some classes of traffic (e.g. a caching system). They've been publishing details about how it all works too.

Also, they have a transport (Pony express) developed specifically for RPCs, rather than byte streams or datagrams.

I don't think he's talking about engineering managers. It seems to be common practice to make "manager" part of the title for many non-technical roles (not just product managers but also content managers, customer success managers, etc.).

This is a sincere comment and not trolling, but I wonder if this cultural shift is an unexpected side effect of more women in leadership positions. Women (in general) tend be less risk-taking physically and more nurturing and cautious. Seems our organizations would follow as more women are in leadership.

> The water which supplies the farms of Mars is collected in immense underground reservoirs at either pole from the melting ice caps, and pumped through long conduits to the various populated centers. Along either side of these conduits, and extending their entire length, lie the cultivated districts. These are divided into tracts of about the same size, each tract being under the supervision of one or more government officers.

> Instead of flooding the surface of the fields, and thus wasting immense quantities of water by evaporation, the precious liquid is carried underground through a vast network of small pipes directly to the roots of the vegetation. The crops upon Mars are always uniform, for there are no droughts, no rains, no high winds, and no insects, or destroying birds.

- This person's writing shows remarkable thinking, despite of their environment.

Feynman's Caltech lectures (Symmetry in Physical Law plus a few others) tackle the problem in this manner (at first) before going into vector analysis and vector algebra. For example with respect to rotation:

> "Another example in which the laws are not symmetrical, that we know quite well, is this: a system in rotation at a uniform angular velocity does not give the same apparent laws as one that is not rotating. If we make an experiment and then put everything in a space ship and have the space ship spinning in empty space, all alone at a constant angular velocity, the apparatus will not work the same way because, as we know, things inside the equipment will be thrown to the outside, and so on, by the centrifugal or Coriolis forces, etc. In fact, we can tell that the earth is rotating by using a so-called Foucault pendulum, without looking outside."

I'm not sure why you'd assume all of that. You keep saying engineers, but it's a business decision. Seems like you are getting caught up in marketing.
SQLite is karma fodder here. I'm a huge fan of it but yes, it's not clear why this is worthy of the front page.
The assumptions here seem to be no speed of light lag, no packet loss, and no security. The only problem is congestion.
That's more like the interconnection fabric of a single-purpose supercomputer than a general-purpose data center. Which is probably why they mention Infiniband, a hardware interconnect for supercomputers, so much.

Would this break down if you had to start talking to a remote machine in another data center? That's how outages and overloads are handled, after all.

This is an interesting idea, but it's for a relatively narrow use case.
I don't think TheChaplain is saying you should be devoted to your employer, but rather to respect your work, your colleagues, your customers, and your company. That is not even incompatible with planning an exit. The best people I've worked with put in an effort to the end, even when they are on the way out, because they are professionals.
I don't think it's functionally very different from having a cask sitting in the breakroom cupboard for Friday drinks. Cheap red wine is $3/litre here. It's not sturgeon caviar and Cuban cigars, and I wouldn't imagine many employees drink during the day, at least beyond an occasional glass at lunch.

Whether having always-available alcohol in the workplace is a good idea is debatable, but I don't understand why it's beyond belief.

That would exit the program with AL being the exit value. I'm not aware of AH = 0?

why do you need some blue tick next to your handle?
My take: this is the making of a great essay question for a graduate course in networking.

The chance of TCP being thrown out wholesale is zero. What might happen is some slow, incremental improvements in certain aspects of networking, like some other comments suggest.

Until eventually, a networking student picks up a dusty old TCP doc and says to his teacher, innocently, "But we're not doing hardly any of this stuff anymore!"

Perhaps stop cheaping out on the cameras and procure those with high dynamic range. Then again those may be "expensive and complicate the supply chain with for a small delta"
My real world experience tends to be something like the following:

I want to do X, and it's already obvious it's going to be modeled as say a finite state machine in some kind of predetermined hardware. The "computer science" part of the task just doesn't tend to be a very time consuming determination like it is with exam questions designed to probe that specifically.

The first thing that actually saves time for me is how long it takes to grab maximally relevant boilerplate code and make modifications. The second thing is how organized i am about having datasheets, code, etc layed out so i can cross reference things quickly without making mistakes or being distracted.

Things that wasted most of my time are relatively simple issues in hindsight. Now i help younger people hitting those same walls and realize i have in fact gotten faster at those things i used to be doing, but it doesn't matter because my responsibilities have shifted to other areas where i have less experience. I suspect this cycle will never end and that's ok.
Spoiled is a value judgement. Capturing some of the massive economic surplus you create instead of letting it all flow to investors is not a bad thing.
Yes, in theory, something sufficient will suffice. I think we are trying to bring some clarity to the topic, however.
I won't argue with your experience at that location, but even in Scotland, for most of the population there is no month when the average low temperature is below freezing. Edinburgh, e.g., is barely colder in January than Memphis Tennessee, in the US.

To the point about air conditioning, however, Summer is a whole different matter. Memphis in July is easily 15C, and maybe more, warmer than Edinburgh.

> The challenge with levered long bets on technology is that most foundational technologies undergo waves of innovation, growth, replacement, and bankruptcy. You could've been totally right about social networking by betting on Xanga in 1999, and still gone bankrupt because they were long gone by the time Facebook ultimately won the market. Same with betting on Altavista for Search in 1995, WebVan for e-commerce in 1999, BlackBerry for smartphones in 2002, etc.

Ya, that's why it's a hedge, not an isolated bet. The idea is that one of two things has to happen: high interest rates, or strong AI labor substitution. You construct a portfolio to benefit from either outcome.

My expectation would be that the AI bets would lose money and the interest rates bets would make money, on average. However, in the case where AI really does undergo a miracle in the next decade sufficiently profound to lower interest rates, my portfolio would be hedged to that.
It appears that some people have downvoted this comment.

> attempted assassination

That "Where's Nancy?" line comes from the report of a single police officer on scene, none of the others heard it. We don't have the cam footage or sound from the PD or the Pelosi residence yet. When CNN reported that (and they are the only ones who have done so, everyone else is regurgitating their report), they were trying to make political hay out of the situation.

Paul Pelosi refers to the assailant as 'friend' to the 911 dispatcher. Perhaps that was coded language to protect himself, but we do not know.

We do know that the attack on Paul Pelosi occurred in front of police after they arrived. It is simply too early to know for sure what the motivations or intentions were of either Paul Pelosi or David Depape that morning.

Yep, I totally agree, as a median forecast. But the future is always uncertain, and it is possible the things we're seeing now will hit some sort of wall, where only large companies will be able to build highly general models and everyone else will be left licensing from them. I think that's unlikely, but I just wanted to enumerate it as a possibility. And when you're constructing portfolios for long time scales, you want to think about all the likely paths things might take and try to roughly assign a weight to them and construct your portfolio accordingly.
Isn't this a bit like saying we can do better than fixed-wing aircraft, because birds can flap their wings? With sufficiently advanced material science, flapping-wing human flight too, is possible. But that doesn't mean Boeing and Cessna are misguided.

And yet every time hardware designers get the chance they redesign Ethernet and IPv4--poorly.

See: HDMI 2.0+, USB 3.0+, Thunderbolt 3.0+, etc.

My suspicion is that this paper works fine beween pairs of peers and immediately goes straight to hell after that. It is extremely suspicious that there is zero mention of SCTP and only compares to TCP and not UDP.

The problem with RPC is that multiple organizations must agree on meaning. And that's just not going to fly. It is damn near a miracle that a huge number of institutions all agree on the Ethernet/IP command "Please take this bag of bytes closer to the machine named: <string of bytes>."

Facebook was/is quite profitable. Twitter is not.
Yeah I wasn't sure how to set things up there - if I kept a single space dimension + a time dimension, then I'd have to explain the negative sign on one of the terms, and probably also talk about the Einstein summation convention to keep things clean. Whereas with a single time dimension, it's not really 'spacetime' as you pointed out.

What motivated this post was that I wanted to give a concrete example of what it really means for some symmetry to 'dictate' the structure of a physical theory, but do so in the simplest way possible - i.e. not deal with spinors, gamma matrices, quantum fields - and the rest of the actual machinery of the standard model. The core idea is so profound that I felt like there has to be a way to get a taste of it across in a way that's accessible.

Turned out to be a lot harder than I thought - I had to skip quite a few steps in the post to keep it from becoming too long, but I'm hoping the model still conveys the essence of how a symmetry + action principle can 'predict' particles.
