Nice article. On this bit: " It's about how you would write a regex package from scratch, in a language like C that doesn't already have regexes."

There's a 30-line C regex matching program that Rob Pike wrote and Brian Kernighan wrote about here. It only implements . ^ $ * (where c is any literal):

"A Regular Expression Matcher" (2007)

https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spr09/cos333/be...

> "Rob's implementation itself is a superb example of beautiful code: compact, elegant, efficient, and useful. It's one of the best examples of recursion that I have ever seen, and it shows the power of C pointers. Although at the time we were most interested in conveying the important role of a good notation in making a program easier to use and perhaps easier to write as well, the regular expression code has also been an excellent way to illustrate algorithms, data structures, testing, performance enhancement, and other important topics." - Brian Kernighan
Somehow Coinbase's email didn't include what they include in their SEC filings:

Exactly the same for me.

As an Australian, you’re forgetting one really key part of the puzzle.

Australia is a FUCKING ENORMOUS lump of mineral rich dust. The country is literally tinted red when viewed from space because of all the iron in our dry, desolate, empty-ass country.

There is one, and I do mean ONE, advantage to being a developed western country that is also fucking empty and inhospitable.

You could put hundreds of open cut mines all over WA, SA, NT, and nobody would even notice because there’s fuckin-nuthin out there.
"That much less" meaning equal to the difference between the amount of the harm and what they'd expect to pay in increased premiums.

If spending $X would avoid a small chance of a million dollars in damage, the X you're inclined to spend is a lot larger if the potential loss is the full million dollars than if it would increase your insurance premiums by a net present cost of $1000.
Saw that email; dumped half my account val into a hardware wallet. Probably will dump the rest in soon.
If your business model isn't compatible with the freedom of your customers, you should generally find a new business model, rather than working to reduce that freedom.

See also: modern intellectual "property" laws & enforcement, the businesses that push for it (typically large companies with a wealth of IP), the organizations that facilitate the control of information (governments, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Netflix, etc.), and the business models that depend on it.

There are cases where the benefits are worth a reduction in freedom, but this ain't it.

100%, the time pressure and collaboration is what made things fall into place. It’s what made me realize that I have to keep at it, rain or sunshine, because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to complete what I set out to do.

As for the follow-up: I have been very much focused on writing and programming this year, and haven’t felt the itch to make music, but I can feel that I will take it up again soon. However, I have been keeping up my practice time and been reasonably steady at writing my blog and the enormous iceberg of notes underneath.

I see the same approach working for me in writing (being prolific, producing a lot of garbage, layering and juxtaposing and experimenting), although I am an absolute amateur and at the beginning of my journey.

The point of having copious amounts of free time is interesting. I often wonder about exactly the same follow up as you: what makes this sustainable?

I did produce most of my music while having a full time job after coming back from the sabbatical. It felt like having a 1-2h window before breakfast and some longer sessions in the weekend was extremely more effective than spending entire days without a clear focus. Further, once I did get about 20 songs released and « leveled » up technically, I found that the studio time tended to yield more bang for the buck. That could just be a technical thing: I got a bit of gear that made recording my hardware and my mixing so much easier (SSL UC1 and UF8 and a ERM multiclock).

One to two hours (not that that’s not a lot of time, but I don’t have children) a day adds up really quickly if you keep a consistent output. I kept a similar rhythm this year for writing and I’m about to pass 800k words written in my vault. That’s about 800k words of garbage, but it’s impressive nonetheless :)
Doesn’t Doom use indexed color? And thus all this hash stuff isn’t needed, just map index to emoji when CLUT changes.
For the second question nic.* is conventionally the domain utilized by the TLD operator. So nic.brand may contain info and functions related to the .brand TLD and then www.brand and about.brand be other sites. E.g. nic.google redirects to registry.google, Google's domain registrar whose engineers also operate .google, whereas about.google can be considered the actual brand home site.

"FTX’s lending product was (theoretically) peer-to-peer"

that's the point of theoretically?

Their spot lending system didn't come out until well after they had cemented their spot as a top exchange, and if you look at the rates anytime in the last year they were well under market rate - like ~1-2% rates for most major products.

It might have been part of the scam, but this looks much more like pretty bog standard "let's go trade our users funds away".
> Explicit allows being all you can do in an IAM policy were easy(ish) when there was a handful of AWS services and API actions. As there were more and more services and policy actions etc. they became unwieldy.

How does adding more AWS services to the platform make following least-privilege unwieldy? Surely your workload does not need permissions to each new service, so new services and new IAM permissions being available is a no-op.
Yep Epstein and him have CIA written all over them.
I can't speak directly for Accenture or Deloitte but based on my experience in a top 10 consulting firm, consulting practices have drastically lower travel required than a few years ago. There are still opportunities if you're interested, but "forced" travel has been pretty light. This may vary quite a bit by region however. I'm speaking of consulting in the midwest specifically.
Exactly. I think if you had your workflow down pat then things may be a lot easier and you get your cake and eat it too, but damn that Octatrack isn't the easiest thing to learn unless you put in the time

We emitted what the eartg can absorb (3Gteq) back in 1990. Since then, emissions trippled.

Net zero is not enough, there is still a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere, so the temperature will reach +3°C.

A lot of people seem to be getting very confused between a job, and the social institution which makes all the decisions about your job.

What is wrong with loving computer programming? Or baking cakes? Or whatever?

The social institution (the corporation) is a coercive structure which removes your autonomy, and working on command makes people feel hollow and unfulfilled. In much the same way as you feel when living with a partner who doesn't love you. Kind of because that's what it is. Of course you need to live in the reality where you recognise that you are coerced in to submitting tot his social structure for survival, and it obvious that this is much better for your mental health than deluding yourself into thinking the nature of the social structure is kind and caring and you are just broken and unworthy.

Human connection, shared goals, working together, these are things which don't feel fundamentally coercive, hollow, and exploitative. It seems self-evident that the only way you can make an institution that loves you back is by... (i mean, duh?) making an institution that loves you back (ie. that treats people decently). In our culture, unions are the only chance working people have at creating institutions based on mutual support, solidarity, and providing the opportunity to take back some autonomy over their working lives and create decent working conditions for themselves.

To other posters on the thread, the fact your union sucks is very much like the fact your democracy sucks. You have to ask the question: if we sit here complaining and waiting for it to be fixed, who will come along and fix that for us? Perhaps god will swoop down from the sky, or the BatMan? Or perhaps these institutions simply need your input if they are going to have a chance of functioning in the way you want them to function.

> Accessing InfiniBand and GPUs directly become a problem.

I use nvidia containers on HPC systems every day and accessing NICs, doing RDMA to GPUs, etc. "just works" and performs as well as baremetal. Every time we upgrade our container we verify the new container with a set of benchmarks against both the old one and baremetal.

> You don’t want to give indirect root access via docker group, too.

I don't know of any HPC center using docker though. It does not sound like a good idea because the docker daemon runs as root..

I would say most theories are overly simplistic for classifying humans. However here are a few I've found helpful.

1. Your feelings typically say more about yourself than about another person. Use them for self reflection.

2. Feeling wronged when someone is an asshole is just. Learn to create boundaries and find ways to separate yourself from such people, both physically and emotionally.

3. Very few things are made better by being obsessively angry. Learn what is causing your anger, work through it and confront people you want to keep a relationship with.

Most of all, try to always give others the benefit of the doubt, and if they ask forgiveness grant it. If they prove themselves repeatedly unreliable than form the appropriate boundaries, but still treat them with the respect that any person deserves.
I've been making music for 20 years, just noodling mostly. I've made some tracks that friends of mine love, but I don't want to do it professionally. I just enjoy the relaxation involved.

In about 2003 I tried something very similar, except I time boxed a song. I had to spend an hour and a half and each song could only take 15 minutes. That ended up being incredibly fruitful.

You don't have time to think, you just go stream of consciousness through whatever comes to mind. Drums are weird? Too bad, there is no time, go with it. Throw in a 8 bar synth or piano loop. It's not good? Well, there isn't much time so on to the next thing.

This ended doing a few things for me. For one, there was no second guessing anything. You just made what you made. For two there was no pressure to do a good job. You can't do a good job you are just rushing through. That lets things just flow. Thirdly it allowed me to try a ton of things that I wouldn't normally try. There was no wrong answer. All three are kinda related.

I made some of my favorite songs that way and they are songs I still love. I later applied this to writing a technical book. I forced myself to write for 5 minutes a day, everyday. Sometimes it'd be 2 hours and other times it'd be 5 minutes but I got the book done and it became pretty popular. (also had a monetary penalty if I couldn't write on any particular day).

I really love this way of working. Just time box and go.

> In the case of accidents, liability insurance presents no moral hazard. The ordinary person is not going to leave a broken railing in his house that could cause a guest to fall and injure himself just because he has homeowner's insurance.

Maybe not if repairing the railing costs $15, but what if the safety repairs would cost $15,000? When not doing it could cause someone who gets hurt to render you bankrupt and homeless, you find the money. When you're insured, you may have other priorities.

> Similarly, the ordinary person doesn't seek out automobile accidents on account of having mandatory automobile insurance.

It's not about seeking them out. You don't want an accident, but you do want to read that text you just got, and you're more likely to wait until you're stationary if an at fault accident could ruin you instead of just raising your insurance premiums.

> Perhaps most strikingly, the moral hazard theory would suggest that life insurance policy holders are more likely to commit suicide, but in reality they are less likely to!

Isn't suicide an exception to nearly all life insurance polices, among other reasons to remove that very incentive?

Thanks. Is that because of the general WFH climate? Do you think it's going to keep that way? Sorry for additional questions.
The union is an institution that in the past 150 years has:
- won us the vote, so we have a way to get legislation changed without having to face cavalry charges
- won us the labour lawas that give us this level of protection
- won us the social security safety net

The fact that they haven't achieved 100% of all desirable social goals, to me, is a pretty strong indication that the labour movement is as vital as ever. And not a done deal that we inherited from prior generations and that requires zero care or maintenance.
There are competing concerns ever since the 1970s energy crisis insulation has been required. The people doing that often didn't talk to the health and safety guys. Some insulation doesn't burn, but some burns fast. Some safe while others are toxic. We discover issues and adjust code to fix it. Them Someone discovers something new and it looks great until years later we discover something we didn't know and codes have to adjust to something we didn't know.

Epstein was likely "shared" by multiple intelligence agencies, but all indications are of Mossad running that particular network primarily. See Whitney Webb's great new book(s), One Nation Under Blackmail. (vol 1 and 2)

Her sisters are one of the hidden threads those on HN might be interested in. Hints of Danny Casalaro's research keep popping up on this topic...

No, the amount they can lend out is mostly based on their capital. If they want to lend money out but they have reached their capital adequacy limit, they have to capital raise by issuing new shares for cash, not seek more deposits. (I’ve been a bank shareholder when they had to do this, when the Basel III rules changed the limits to make things more stable).

Deposits are liquidity that help grease the wheels, so it’s necessary, but it’s actually more the transfers of money moving in and out that they need, not liabilities sitting on their balance sheets.

It's special in the amount of concentrated fraud. I can't think of another legal field with such fraud per sqm density.
I see this logic all over the place(parents did X, so kids raised by parents will be super Xers). But it completely misses one of the key elements - the parents doing X may have done X because they believed in it, whereas the kid might do X simply because it's the family business. So the motivation is entirely missing, and it's seen as a birthright rather than a calling.

Maybe his parents became compliance officers because they are assiduously moral law and order types. That's not necessarily a trait that gets passed down to your offspring.

It works for him the same way it works for Neil Gershenfeld. Be palatably erratic, assume the mad scientist role, make your credentials known, and people will eventually start to treat you as though you are brilliant.
