I've had the same experience at startups. Usually it's time to make features, but eventually the spend gets high enough to justify spending a couple weeks of engineer time on it to cut out waste. Same thing happened when I worked a large internet company, just on a different scale.
You are so confused I don’t know where to start. There is no country in the world where you have the right to go into a corporate office against the will of the owner. This has absolutely nothing to do with employment status. We’re talking about current employees being told to stay out of a physical office.
This is another "I'm moving to Canada if Trump wins", and nobody of note moved to Canada.
Without extra work you can’t use a vector like a queue, and a circular buffer doesn’t necessarily support all types and/or preserve iterators on insert. Could use a deque, a blocked linked list. But IMO list is fine if it’s not clearly a bottleneck.
Yes. As in I'm looking at the screen reading a tweet, and it vanishes in some animated fashion with me not doing anything. It's not gone, but I have to know how to find it to see it again.
The only problem I’ve heard about reverse osmosis is you end up lacking in trace minerals. It sounds like straight filtration is the way to go and you can also buy special filters to greatly reduce other industrial waste such as fluoride.
Or turn the quality down from 4k.

Frankly, the fact that you can stream 4k video for four hours a day, every day, on a satellite connection is pretty nuts.
The Internet Computer[0] hosts whatever kind of service you can cram in a smart contract form-factor. In exchange for having to deal with things like oracles to retrieve information from the outside world, it costs absolute peanuts[1]. I tend to use it whenever I want to PoC a web app because it's usually lower-friction than a VM. Unfortunately there aren't that many things to show as an example that aren't just NFT silliness, but one big one is OpenChat[2], which also shows off the basically zero-friction single-sign-on[3] that can't be tracked across services.

Will it pan out? I have no earthly idea. But it's cool enough to try.

Not really the point here. If you spent tens of billions purchasing Twitter you presumably don’t want the world to be without it. You have a very active interest in making it a success.
1. It is rapidly becoming clear that drones are a historically effective technology for winning wars, killing people & destroying stuff. "The display was flown over land, from neighboring New Jersey, so as not to violate New York City airspace restrictions and laws prohibiting drones within city limits." is enough to warrant taking them out with force.

2. There is also a risk that they fall out of the sky and kill people.

This sort of display is a very bad idea.
he's been hyping it non stop, including taking doge for payments with the perfume he launched last month https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Aelonmusk%20doge&src=type...
There's also reducing replication from 4x to 3x which can save a lot but also reduce redundancy.
That's because they directly compete with big tech for ad revenue.
this comment does nothing for me, it's like saying the internet is a terrible idea and then no explanation why you think so.
Well, it's not public knowledge but it seems that VAC does not care about how it looks. Also while it doesn't look aimbotty, according to modern standards it also sucks at the game. In contrast, many pro players look very aimbotty, but are legit. But ultimately yeah, anticheat will be totally lost.
I think this is kind of sad. Knowing those techniques doesn't make you an artist, it makes you a painter. You can be a brilliant painter and yet paint things which are not very imaginative. You can be a great artist and produce paintings that are not technically brilliant but are still recognised for their imagination.

I like painting. I didn't know what scumbling or tonking were, I just read about them. But I do those things anyway as it turns out, and I'm just an amateur messing about so they can't be that hard to discover. For all I know, Hopper knew those techniques and chose not to use them to achieve the artist style he wants to convey.
My observation of 'free speech' zones is that they turn into 'safe space' zones as soon as you post something left-wing in them.
You can find a pattern or motive pretty quick if it happens often. I don't think many would be stupid enough to risk their high paying job for that. Any sabotage would probably be from a low-level employee with git access or is more customer facing. An engineer making in the high 6 figures isn't going to risk it all just to "own Elon" or something stupid.
I feel like I’m missing a huge amount of context to what you’re talking about, especially that last sentence. Where do I catch up?
If they’re calling for boycotts, for example, perfectly acceptable.
That is removing an item at N index, right? (that's why it talking about iterators?) Linked lists are only fast at append/pop with the first node.
I always felt like they borrowed heavily from Public Enemy. PE had the rap/rock fusion down in 1986/7. Listen to songs like Sophisticated Bitch or She Watch Channel Zero with Vernon Reid (of Living Color) on guitar, or the Bring The Noise track with Anthrax, all of which predates RATM by a mile.

Public Enemy had a unique sound never really rivalled by anybody and they lived and breathed fighting the power.
Another ADHD founder here. I got value from the first session. I've always had massive issues with punctuality (I got fired from a CTO job because I rocked up late to a crucial board meeting among other things) and talking it through with my coach helped me come up with strategies I hadn't thought of (using Alexa/Google Home style devices to give me audible alerts). I was able to implement the strategies immediately and have found the follow up sessions similarly valuable. My punctuality has been heaps better in the last three weeks :)
/dev/hugepages/ is a good place to put this if you have enough control over the host.
> We’ve had it for years: tor’s .onion sites. And look how popular they are… when was the last time you visited one?

Pornhub's onion site is probably somewhere more regular than I'd like to admit.
Hi, for this case I think you can use Grist, it might be the fastest way.
There you create data tables and set up logic for calculated columns using python.
After that you can use https://support.getgrist.com/widget-custom/#html-viewer to generate receipts

I like Grist and have made a few tools for it that might come in handy for you:
Docxtemplater widget: https://community.getgrist.com/t/generate-docx-from-template....
Electron version for offline work on windows: https://github.com/stan-donarise/grist-core-electron

But if you'd rather use this project to improve your programming skills, I suggest using something more challenging.
I find the trace minerals claim dubious. Trace minerals are easily obtained from diet; the drinking water shouldn't make any difference.

I have heard of a case of a well drilled through unfortunate mineralization and yielding water with so much arsenic the home's residents developed symptoms.
Is it cheaper to buy a second dish and pay for a second Starlink subscription?
It could be the case that Musk is an a-hole who happens to be right. Maybe Twitter's OPEX expanded to fill whatever seemed right for the massive ad revenue (or "potential" revenue). They probably did not need an enormous engineering team to keep the site running. But beyond "just running" I am curious how difficult it is for them to combat spam/bots/griefers/hatemongers. Spending money on moderators and some kind of engineering to make the moderation team productive is a good investment.

As much as some folks hate it, I think paying for the service makes a great deal of sense. Just imagine how much better these things might be if they weren't all driven by adtech. But yeah it could also easily become Twitter's death knell. That network effect will work in your favor right up until it starts working in your biggest competitor's favor. Market leaders can't hold on forever.

re: "paying for it" - I think it would be a potentially awesome experiment to provide a service like [Gmail+Twitter+LinkedIn] for something like $5/mo or maybe even $10/yr. And what if you could get some incremental funding from government grants or NGOs & philanthropists who saw this as a public good (the same way some endowments fund public radio, TV etc).
> If so, even just moving to on-prem would save them the $1B easily

Except you can't wave a magic wand and shift the entire distributed infrastructure for one of the five most visited sites on earth on-prem. Twitter has two DCs. Running their infra on-prem somewhere would require reworking the entire company from the ground up in a way that would take years and cost substantially more than $1b.
>For example during rebase, cherry-pick or merge you solve conflicts the same way.

Milk comes in paper cartons.
Um... You need to check your math.

1200 megabits / 8 = 150 megabytes

1.2 TB = 1200000 MB

12000000 MB * (1 sec / 150MB) = 8000 sec = 2.22 hours
I think that George Carlin produced a large volume of the most insightful political commentary in modern US history.

I re-watch this one at least every couple of months:

Similarly I was very dissapointed to find paper coffee cups are almost always lined with plastic. In hindsight it's obvious that paper is not going to hold boiling water, but I dunno, I'm not a paper cup engineer, I guess I thought someone figured it out. Of course I've been tossing the paper cup in the recycling this whole time, which is fine, since it all ends up in the landfill anyway.
Most apartment buildings where I live (a major metro) are not sub-metered. They don’t know how much my unit uses.
I'm sure it will be just as successful as the voat platform was.
I mean back in the day maybe yes, but nowadays even in Japan no-one eats sushi by hand.
Off the top of my head:

* you’re not using GCP

* you have workloads that don’t mesh well with common cloud PaaS patterns

* you want to pick-and-choose your cloud dependencies

* you want to use a commodity tech-stack so that hiring, tooling and support are far more readily available.

All of this comes with the obvious caveat of: sure, if you aren’t having issues, or reaching the limits of whatever PaaS solution you’re currently using, then don’t swap unnecessarily, but that still means there’s a lot of useful features that K8s offers.
IMO, this is one reason why illegal immigration gets a blind eye. They work, pay into social security, but can't withdraw.
Raised a lot of capital from private equity recently too
Why would everyone flee? Twitter had a problem with censorship and Musk is going to fix it. Some will come back, some will leave, the tone overall will change a bit, but that's about it.
Dang dunno why I got downvoted. Guess people are upset at reality.
Sorry can you repeat that with some 80s music played 20% faster and pitched up a few semitones in the background.
> discovering fairly high levels PFAs, Bromodichloromethane, and chloroform in my water after a test

Out of curiosity, how did you have these tested?
And you think you are representative of the average Twitter user, why?
By default divs are blocks. If you don't want flex or grid, you don't have to use them. In fact you don't have to use CSS at all if you don't want to. You can write plain HTML if you prefer.
There's also the water waste factor, you send a few gallons down the drain for every gallon dispensed.
"Death threats" isn't a point of failure. If it was, the entire judicial system in the US with the Supreme Court wouldn't exist.

Thus, the entire premise of this opinion falls apart.

Considering the speed of my “unlimited” cellular data from T-Mobile gets deprioritized after 50 GB, and Comcast limiting me to 1.2 TB per month, I would have expected a satellite Internet to put up a much lower cap than 1 TB. I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep on lowering that cap as they add more users.
I'm not sure how they could. Last year they made around $4.5 billion in revenue from ads, they'd need around 50 million people paying the $8/month blue checkmark thing to replace that. iirc there's currently around 400,000 verified users now.
> Suggesting stimulants as the first line of treatment rather than cardiovascular exercise, good sleep, and a healthier relationship with food is at best dismissive of the body of modern research and at worst introduction of a dangerous 'just pop a pill' crutch.

Literally none of this is true. The research overwhelmingly shows that stimulant medication is the most effective treatment for ADHD, and second place isn't even close. Show me a single paper that shows that "good sleep" is a more effective treatment for ADHD than medication and I'll eat my shoe.
> Twitter had a problem with censorship and Musk is going to fix it.

A substantial share of the userbase either disagrees with Musk that there was a problem with content moderation or has a view of the nature of the problem that is at odds with Musk’s.

The other thing Musk seems to be surprised to discover is that the while tweaks might be desirable, the basic outline of content moderation and advertisers confidence in it was very much tied into Twitter’s ability to make money, and since he’s saddled it with a very large amount of additional debt service costs, that is something that becomes quite an acute problem if it is lost.
The FCC chairman with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup coffee mug maybe wasn’t working in the public’s best interest?
Can you elaborate what those skills are in your view? Meaning no disrespect, your current comment sounds like a hand-wavy opinion with zero actual justification.
It would be a huge stretch to characterize usage over 1TB a month as abuse. My family likely rips through 1TB of data in about 10 days if I had to estimate. So some sort of throttling after 5TB would be more appropriate for 30 days, as obviously a main use case for Starlink will just be normal family internet usage which means a hell of a lot of video.
Do we really want a world where even the skies are full of ads?
At least this somewhat makes sense with satellite.

I have a 1gbps down connection and 1 TB cap because my ISP has a monopoly. I pay an arm and leg for this connection. The nearest competitor is basically a town over.

Don't worry, I can pay an extra $150/mo for unlimited data on top of my already $300 connection. I'm not convinced networks should be public utilities but certainly ISPs should be pursued for de facto monopolies. These jerks even tanked my connection during COVID because of all the Netflix consuming the bandwidth at the trunk. Customers paying for 1 gbps down (< 1% of their customer base I'd imagine) should have priority access in times of increased usage. I shouldn't have to compete with a 20 mbps home connection for usage at the astronomical cost I pay for the privilege.
Ask HN: What part of the computing hierarchy can be most improved?
In terms of hardware, systems software, end user software. I think higher level software is an area that can be improved greatly but Im curious if there are any opinions on the lower levels of the compute stack.

Perhaps the hardware landscape we're in is a shallow minimum that we're just stuck with. Perhaps other computer architectures like Lisp would allow much more efficient hardware in general?

Perhaps OS's and high performance libraries are designed badly leading to inefficiencies all round?
There’s always a way to reduce costs. For storage specifically one could spend engineering time compressing data, storing it in a colder way, etc. The question is whether the trade offs, short term or long term, are worth it.
Those cartons are not only paper.
Someone might be wrong! And we can not have that.
Monopoly money does prevent spam. In decentralized networks preventing people from DDOSing the network becomes extremely important and very difficult.

Instagram actively fights to shut down this kind of access. Any solution you find that works now will soon be killed.

I’ve given up. The result is that I simply don’t get to see what my friends and family post there anymore.

The best shot for Intel taking over TSMC is getting the US to start a war with China at Taiwan. Of course it will be a tragedy, but in that case Intel is strategically important to the western world.

In some places in the US they don't check your ID before you vote. When I voted this year and last they did not check for any ID whatsoever, and the only information they wanted could be looked up in a phone book or previous voter record (but I did flash a US passport last year just in case, so they know I'm probably not an illegal, this year they probably know who I am, new clerk last year). Without checking IDs it's easier to vote twice (under a false name all but one time, or some bluffing/sneakiness to avoid giving a name, otherwise you would probably get caught). The main thing people appear to be concerned about is people voting where they are not supposed to be, such as US non-citizens on visas/green cards, tourists, and illegals. Another problem would be voting in the wrong state's elections, or the wrong county/schoolboard's.

Longer answer is that the size of the "blocks" is limited to 512 bytes or one element, whichever is larger. So unless your elements are really tiny, it is strictly a pessimization.
IE’s problem was that it was too successful and Netscape couldn’t keep up. Further, MS had shorty coding practices so IE was deeply ingrained into Windows.

But IE set a whole lot of standards and pushed the web forward.

The one complaint with IE was that at some point it stagnated. This was unlikely due to malice on MS’s part and more likely because once again, MS’s shitty coding standards meant it just couldn’t improve. One way to know this is true is the fact that even after IE was surpassed and rapidly losing market share, MS wasn’t able to bring it up to speed with its competitors.

It had to create an entirely new browser to even try and come close.

Linked lists are great. But they have the problem that, almost always, whatever technical interview you have, someone asks you to whiteboard how to reverse one.

$300! Wow. I pay about 80 from Comcast for the same service, actually unsure if it has a soft cap. We average about 600gb per month usage. Comcast is also our one and only choice so I am at their mercy with price changes.
Korea and Japan are far far behind when it comes to government agencies and their tech competency.
Very little of the streaming video you describe is off-net for any of the carriers. They run caching servers within their network at major POPs. The network isn't congested because of said video because it's already downsampled content specifically for mobile streaming.

Video streaming on any of these carrier networks consumed by your phone or tablet is curated for mobile devices and doesn't impact their Internet connectivity at all. Very little of that traffic will ever egress the carrier's network. Ultimately the congestion is all oversubscription of the spectrum allocated to the tower you're connecting to.
No.

Why? Visa, Mastercard, and existing advertisers will all run away.
The longest journey it will take any time soon, probably :)
It's made self hosting proxying very very easy. Worth a look.

One of my favorite features about Rust: this is the default for all documentation comments, and thus for auto-generated API docs.
I see your point. But then how is the accusation 'west scans internet' connected to 'see this map of countries of origin'? Because I thought he would back up this claim with this source/second paragraph.

If other people (and arguably other govt's) are scanning too, then saying 'west scans internet' seems somewhat superficial. Not that I deny western state actors scanning the internet, its just that everybody does it.

I have summarized this comment section in a meme that I titled "Chop-Cels be seething over Pincer-Chads."

Of course, this is needless. Pincers don't threaten chopsticks, nor will they replace them.

Pincers are an opportunity to learn to stuff the face in a new way. If I get pincers, I anticipate they will be fun to learn, and I will gain unique food handling skills with them, like I did with chopsticks, forks, knives, and other food tools.
I think it's the difference between compostable and "compostable in an industrial facility".
I worked at a large valley based company that had their own data centers and badly wanted to decrease infra spend.

It's WAY harder than it sounds.

Remember Twitter is not a profitable company which means the likelihood of a bunch of low-hanging fruit for savings is very low. That's been done already.

There are not likely "oh look we found a whole DC sitting idle, oops" sort of savings. Any vendors they use are ALREADY giving them huge discounts.

I'm not saying Twitter is efficient or that this is physically impossible (tho it might be), I'm saying its not easy and takes skilled people a long time to iterate to lower-cost systems or designs that don't have massive stability or performance tradeoffs.
100% agree. I’d reckon we tear through 1TB in about 10 days.
Unless there is regulation against it, it will happen.

It has crept into virtually every other place - your TV, the sides of football pitches, the (virtual) turf on american football fields, etc. etc.

In this case at least, fleets of drones couldn't really be used over populated areas due to the risk of a failing drone falling and hurting someone. So I don't expect to see too much of this in most areas. I'm sure we will see it over sports arenas when the area under has been temporarily emptied of players.
Just today I was thinking of a service like this for coaching of neuro-diverse couples (autistic/neuro-typical, etc.).

I'm happy to see this in the world.
Publications that have a paywall on their website often offer the same articles using RSS, and those RSS feeds don’t have any paywall, full article for free. So it’s a good idea to check if a subscription dependent site also offers RSS. But in many cases the paywall exists in RSS article as well, in that case I use 12ft.io (have a iOS shortcut).
You can certainly allocate memory at controlled addresses using mmap or VirtualAlloc.

But you should not play virtual memory games at runtime in an application that you expect to be scalable. Unmapping memory or changing its permissions requires propagating the change to all threads in the process. On x86, the performance impact is dramatic. On ARM64, it’s not as bad but it’s still there.

Also, even 64 bits can go fast when you start using high bits, separate pools for different purposes, etc.
