I think this is sort of an overstated problem for SSDs. As part of some processing I was doing, I was moving hundreds of gigabytes daily on a very cheap consumer SSD for several months and ate like 20% of its lifetime doing so.

If your usage pattern is so aggressive that you're wearing out hard drives, you really should invest in an enterprise SSD. They're much better in almost every way. Much more consistent performance, generally longer lifetime, often bigger. They're more expensive for sure, it's still fairly affordable compared to many other computer components.

Now, for SD cards, that is another matter.
Titled used here is from the mobile version as the full title does not fit the length limit. Also reads more succinctly.
Always live below your means. Then you can walk out on people when they tell you who they really are. At least then you have a small chance that they will take the feedback for what it is, instead of learning to lie better.

If you quit mysteriously six months later there's no feedback loop, even if you tell them what it is (same human psychology theory behind CI - only immediate feedback is properly internalized)
I understood, and I do believe you're experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect as well. First, the graphics subsystem of Linux is in fact one of those that puts more weight on reviews even for code authored by the maintainers.

Second, do you have any idea if the issue being solved here and what a less clumsy fix would look like. Nobody is denying that it's clumsy, which is why it is being reverted, but have you evaluated the alternatives or even bothered to look up mailing list discussions before making your conclusions about it?

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think technical issues were the reason HoN failed. For context, I have played a lot of DotA2 and HoN (5.2k hours in DotA2, probably 1k hours in HoN). This is anecdotal, but I was never really bothered by outages and neither were the other people that I played with.

Instead, I think HoN made some very bad decisions regarding cosmetics and fostered an extremely toxic playerbase. At least for me, those were the 2 main factors that drove me away to play DotA2 (even though I thought HoN's gameplay was superior).

"A human Excel sheet" is the phrase I need but cannot find for some people I know. Thanks (:
Outer Wilds has some impressive physics in that the whole game takes place in a miniature solar system where the planets orbit the sun, have their own gravity, day/night cycles, and so on. There are various weather phenomena, such as one planet that has floating islands tossed into space by storms before crashing back down, and a pair of planets named the "hourglass twins" that transfer sand between each other. You can fly out in your ship and watch these things happen at a macro level, or get right into it (like walking around one of those islands as it's being tossed into space, or getting yourself crushed by rising sand levels). It's really impressive, and I'm probably not doing it justice with this description. Worth checking out.
Where did you get this notion that Qatar is objectively wrong? That is what I am trying to find. People say X is wrong. Ok cool but why is that the case? Why does yourself or your society have authority to decide that this is wrong?

A few decades ago it was wrong in western society. Now it is morally correct. So is the morality and understanding of the world pinned to the Anglo-sphere?
GiveWell explains their reasoning here[1]. For each of their top charities, they give a measure of cost-effectiveness and explain why they believe the charity has such a high impact.[2]

For a decade, one of GiveWell's top charities was GiveDirectly[3], which simply gives your money to poor people in developing countries. In August, GiveWell changed their evaluation criteria to prioritize charities with funding gaps.[4] This bumped GiveDirectly out of their top charities, along with some deworming programs. GiveWell still thinks these charities are extremely effective, just not as much as their new list of top charities.

> Still way safer than any crypto, but I hope you see how that's just another cult at this point.

Putting some numbers on the narrative will help the discussion. Jack Bogle asserted that index funds could "easily" account for 50% of the market and still not cause problems for index investors [1]. At 100%, he readily acknowledged it would be catastrophic; he also notes that the probability of 0% or 100% of the market accounted by index funds are zero.

As of 2017 about 35% of the market is accounted for by index funds [2]. It took 10 years to reach that level from 15%, or on a simple-minded straight-line extrapolation about 2% per year. So if that trend held we're probably around 45% now.

The closest Bogle has ever come to throwing out a maximum percentage accounting for the market is 75% but he backtracked on that [3]. So somewhere between 50-75% might exist a kind of tipping point.

Contrast this with Michael Burry's thesis that passive indexing has already grossly distorted the market [4]. Those index funds which have stopped deploying more than say 80% of AUM into a distribution of daily dollar value traded among the securities within the indexes they mimic do indeed create the risk he talks about, IMHO. I'd like to hear someone refute that thesis, as well as explain how to independently identify how much of VTSAX's AUM are actually invested into the actual equities in their index. There are plenty of "index funds" that mimic price action instead of truly indexing, but I'm specifically interested in the old standbys that really do put a huge chunk of their AUM directly into the individual equities that make up the index.

This is an awesome tool and a great service you are providing!

One note of feedback: When I first loaded the page, all I saw were listings from Starry Internet, and when I reloaded it was just Lyft. This makes it look like you only have people from one company.

My suggestion would be to randomize the listing on each page load (or even bias the list towards diversity of company and role). Then people can see the depth of the people signed up and start exploring filters.
I think you've missed the point. These people are pretty close to thieves. There isn't an amount of communication strategy that would have changed the unspoken willingness to take the client's money knowing they were lying to get it.

The 14th century Declaration of Arbroath repeats the claim that the Scots came from Scythia:

"They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous.

Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today."

How to derail this dynamic early:

"Does this solve a problem we have?"

"Of the top five things that we are trying to build, does this add any of them?"

Often the problem isn't that the new methods/tech is bad but that all the effort spent transitioning to it could be better spent directly attacking the goal in the first place.
As it happens, I'm Russian, and at the time when all this was happening, I lived in Russia, so my perspective is very much not based on "how Western media tried to depict him".
By the time you come to a size where you would consider SAP or PeopleSoft, you are already a mid to large size company. You have developed internal process and workflows. You would have policies put in place that are crazy, contradicting each other and different across divisions, business lines and roles. You are trying to model all of this in a software that was not organically grown in your company. This is what implementation mean.

The truth is that, you are better off throwing all your process away and just use the pre-built stuff from the ERP system and adjust it as you go along. But very few companies have the courage to accept that their process were fucked up in the first place.

In a way but also I think there are unfortunately a lot of consulting firms where the core business model is just to make sure they can keep billing the client for as long as possible. So they will prefer that the project or collection of projects are never really finished and will just keep increasing the scope with no real regard for business outcomes except contract extensions.
Does ETH/ConsenSys win here?
I encountered a similar situation at a tiny startup. The VP of Engineering was hired by the board, against the founder's will, and he was a disaster. Our main metric was measured by a graph, showing foobars/second. Similar to the linked story, there were lots of off-schedule tasks, and the VP was focused on shallow features instead of fundamentals. One of those features was i18n, apparently because his girlfriend was the consultant on i18n.

We kept missing deadline after deadline, and it was starting to become apparent, even to the board. The board sent the most technical board member to talk to us to see if the team and architecture were plausible, the founder unilaterally fired the VP, and hired the guy he wanted all along. Things turned around instantly, once the new VP focused on the right things. Five years later, company was sold and now, nine years later, the product still exists at the acquiring company.
IDK, I live in Canada (Ontario) and I've never heard of the word toot referring to flatulence until people started complaining about Mastodon on HN. For me toot always referred to the sound a horn makes.

What is most annoying is: many of the dictators were installed by "democracies" so that these can continue their unsustainable lifestyles, at the expense of extreme suffering elsewhere.

...and I disagree with the parent's parent's point on progress in philosophy: all three examples are not progress of philosophy but at best influence or application of it, and in the last case did not involve trained/professional philosophers (e.g. Turing was a mathematician/chemist-turned-cryptoanalyst/computer scientist).
Thanks for that link, very useful for me to be able to find that stuff in one place. I want to treat my software development more like I do with physical hobbies and start to learn to use advanced-yet-powerful tools that are well-made. VSCode is perfectly fine, but I see it as something that won't last long in one form, constantly changing things for the flavor of the year tech.
I'd go a step further and say don't work for people who are clearly liars.

f needs to be linear, but the function in your example is not linear.

However, there are quite interesting linear functions.

See I disagree. They tend to live very interesting lives, not because of their achievement, but I suspect their achievements and how interesting their life is is inextricably intertwined. They tend to not fit in convention very well and live at odds with society in a not too dissimilar way to say a Bob Dylan or Jim Morrison, but without the music and poetry. You’re right of course that folks like to watch movies about people they are aware of and understand their contribution. But I’d also point out that society overall is a lot better educated than in the past, more people than ever would find scientists and mathematicians and engineers easier to identify with and would understand their contribution than ever before - and those people also control an incredible amount of the available disposable income.

I think the real issue is the producers and directors and business folks in the film industry are not in that camp. They’re more likely to make a biography of Robin Williams than Paul Dirac, and they decide what gets made.
I see this opinion so frequently it is a meme, saying that there is some kind of cultural symmetry, everything is relativly equal from opposing perspectives, and that the west holds a superiority complex...

Its a fun thought, but it simply is not true. Due to lots of luck, time, death, war and famine western society has developed to be one of the most comfortable, liberal and happiest in the world. This is something to protected, fosterd and spread.

This question alone is problematic because it lacks context, socially problematisch? Morally problematic?
Piano too if there is one. The fundamental frequency of the low A is 27.5Hz. A Bosendorfer Imperial grand piano goes down to C0, 16.4Hz.

If there's a pipe organ with 64' pipes you can hit 8Hz. Not many of those though.

People taking bribes to vote a specific way are already likely trying to cheat the election for bribes. You're talking about people that are on meth that will do just about anything for money. If all else they could have a sting where the police says they'll give them triple the money if they narc and then arrest them for selling their votes and others for paying for vote manipulation.
Understand what management means. It means to extract value. You can do work, or you can manage it, which means getting credit for keeping the ball in the air, and attritioning out anyone who doesn't. This is anathema to people who actually solve problems (like me), but it's for a very specific reason.

When you are in kindergarten, there are kids who build forts, and kids who play musical chairs. The skills for each are mutually exclusive, where one requires co-operation, creativity, and shared vision, and the other requires an understanding of the dynamic between power and limited resources. If you mess with the fort building kid, you're probably going to get called dumb and shoved, and if you mess with the musical chairs playing kid, they will find a way to make sure you get cooties or find an authority to tell on you to. Nothing much really changes.

Engineers build forts, middle managers play musical chairs, and if you show them them they are being dumb, they will edge you out in some variation of a purity game, because on a deep level they don't need a fort, they just need a chair when the music slows down, and for someone else to get cooties first. An enterprise project is either a zero sum credit and status game or an attrition game. In most large orgs, it's the latter. You don't win attrition games, you survive them, which means understanding when the music is slowing down, and keeping track of who is most likly to flame out and rage quit or get cooties, because if you can't see who it is, it's you. Personally, I like solving problems and unblocking engineers so they can build amazing forts, but you can't do that if you don't have a seat when the music stops, so you learn to balance the skills without antagonizing people who are over invested in one technique or the other.

It's amazing when you can just make stuff people want and get paid for it, but as soon as you do that, there's going to be someone else there showing up to find it, inventing something to be unhappy about or promising it to someone else to extract more value from it for themselves, and you get drawn into the same games again. Being smart about it is recognizing the cycle for what it is and setting personal boundaries that allow you to navigate without becoming a target.
> it was a lie the whole time.

how many of these y'all need before you learn: all crypto is a scam. It never was anything else, it never will be anything else because it can not be anything else.

There's an awful lot of fancy piled on the simple fact that all crypto"currencies" are negative sum games. The only disagreement is whether this is an entirely new type of scam , a "Nakamoto Scheme" or the difference between these and the classic Ponzi are irrelevant like the difference between a CRT and a HDTV and then we are looking at a Ponzi.
To me it seems that the practical application of the US legal system appears to be wildly evolving in all manner of directions lately rather than ossifying. But I am also not a law student.

The populace certainly appears to be preoccupied with other areas of focus than what is discussed here I'll grant you that. Otherwise I don't really get why things couldn't be different. Perhaps that's what you mean.

Bummer.
The serverless dev experience was delightful! I'd work on a single lambda, or maybe a "stack" of related lambdas, and each was focused and lean. A serverless approach is also probably-necessarily a microservices approach, which removes a lot of complication.

It was in EdTech, so we had students downloading assignments, uploading results (lambda-fronted S3 for blob storage, DynamoDB for data), administrators paging through result, grading things, students uploading images and videos of themselves, administrators reviewing them, many lambdas being triggered by changes to S3 or DynamoDB tables, or SNS messages sent from other lambdas.

I don't think most people would consider it especially bursty, except in the most general sense around midterms and finals, but in truth even a "heavy user" is only hitting APIs every so many seconds at most, and like I said, AWS lambda bills at the millisecond level.
Your last item in particular renders the security benefits that Signal normally provides moot, so then why even bother with it?
I dislike the language 'pressure to evolve'. There is only a selective bias towards whatever produces more healthy offspring. Evolution is not teleological, it is merely pruning whatever sprouts but doesn't work.
