Why do all of the current generation of social apps struggle with registration spikes? I've created systems that do a million new users in a day without breaking a sweat, and today's databases and hardware are capable of a few orders of magnitude higher throughput. The design and implementation was not particularly challenging. What are these things doing?
That is standard restaurant markup over retail: 200-300%. So a $20 wine you get a wineshop should be priced $60-80 in a restaurant.

One secret is that most nicer restaurants allow you to bring your own wine, provided you pay a "corkage" fee of usually $10-40. So if the wine is say, $30 retail + $20 corkage, you are better off than paying $90-120 for the same bottle at the restaurant.

well, it's broken because of a particular high demand from those countries that's different from the others. I don't think the system should explicitly discriminate one country from the other, but I think it's fair to give a chance to other countries at an equal rate.
Once buying wine at a specialist shop in Austria, I got to do a blind test of Austria vs. Portugal reds, and I clearly could discern the delicious Portuguese Dão ;)

The decision that the Justice department is supporting is that NSO is not immune to legal proceedings. Presumably everyone wants this to continue being the case and would agree that the Supreme Court doesn’t need to revisit this decision.

Unless there’s some hidden reason that the government doesn’t want the consequences of the Supreme Court agreeing and having additional effects…

Conspiracy folks who think the Justice department is fighting for NSO need to actually read the linked article

Right on—this is my take, too.
I'm starting to think that's my go-to now - I need to either focus on smaller companies, where I can feel like I'm contributing to actual change. Whereas in the bigger companies I worked at, it felt like I wasn't actually doing anything, just because it was a constant struggle with politics and 'how' or 'what' things should/can be done.

If I can find a company that will just let me program and be where I want to be, in my own element, that may bring me back to my original point of happiness.
While i can find all manner of esoteric, oddball things to watch on the streaming services - which admittedly are not major studio movies - my partner feels the same as you. They lament that many of the services lack "big budget films" (as they put it)! :-)

This is pretty interesting as the first general-purpose package manager outside of the functional package management paradigm to directly complete with Nix in terms of features like ephemeral shell environments and magic shebangs.

At a glance, it's not a reimplementation of Nix with a porcelain. It makes no attempt at Nix-like hermeticity; installation of tea itself fails on NixOS with a dynamic linking error. But it also has the strengths one would expect from the creator of Homebrew taking a second stab at general-purpose package management: the documentation and CLI are charming (if incomplete), it's much faster than Homebrew, and it adds capabilities that Homebrew lacks and which are rare outside of the Nix world.

As a Nix person, I'm definitely interested to see what tea can achieve and what kind of userbase it ends up attracting. The less strict approach, day-one emphasis on UX, and choice of a 'dumb', commonplace configuration DSL (YAML) for package definitions could certainly incline a lot of people who shy away from Nix to give it a try.

I wonder how binary caching and relocatability are solved, given the apparent per-user prefixes in the homedirs.

Nix is really blowing up right now, and still has a huge head start in the breadth and usefulness of Nixpkgs. But a competitor like this really vindicates the recent turn towards emphasizing UX and documentation. If Nix developers to get the new CLI and the flakes schema formally released soon, I think we'll be come out ahead even of 'next-gen' efforts from outside the paradigm, like tea. If they don't, it'll be a missed opportunity for our community.
> last I saw Arduino was bought by ARM

I have no idea where you saw that, but it isn't true.

Arduino sells some boards with ARM-based microcontrollers on them, but they have no official relationship with ARM.
What if that server were under the control of the NSA?

In any case, your description

> The message would arrive at a server and tell the server "I'm going this way." and the server forwards the message in a direction rather on a specific path to some destination.

pretty much matches the idea of the IP protocol built on top of point-to-point connections. The problem is that you still need to specify a direction and that helps an attacker identify and track messages from sender to receiver.

Look at it from a different angle:

The most extreme version of a "one ticket west" algorithm would be one where your message would get broadcast to (or eventually pass by) all participants of the network and all of them would check whether the message is meant for them (e.g. by trying to decrypt it). Needless to say, this doesn't scale well at all, especially not for sending anything bigger than pure text. OTOH this is certainly the broadest sense of direction one could possibly think of and there would be no possible way for Eve to discern to whom Alice is sending her message.

Contrast this with direct 1-to-1 connections between Alice and Bob. Any eavesdropper would immediately see Alice's and Bob's IP address.

Now in between these two extremes lie "semi-direct" messages where the path that the message takes is – at the word says – not direct but instead gets obfuscated by some algorithm. (Your idea being one version of that.) Unfortunately, coming up with a good algorithm is anything but simple and the danger is that a nation state actor with sufficient power would still be able to "hack" the algorithm and undo the obfuscation. This is precisely what the people at Tor and GNUnet are concerned with.
> Another theory is that my later career burnout came from what studies would call "social defeat stress". I was most burnt out when I spent most of my job time trying to navigate dysfunctional companies, deal with incompetent bosses, and fight against dirty office politics.

This coincides with my experience. If the job. is meaningless, then burnout is highest.

Pyrs: A Python to Rust Transpiler
I think this level of algorithmic design is impressive, and as far as I know, novel. I certainly haven't seen anything this complex.

It is like a computer displaying "hello world". The output isn't particularly exciting, I could do better with an index card.

However, the fact that the a computer could take a set of inputs and display something at all shows exciting promise. The same is true here.

For a real engine design, you would have to work extensively on the inputs, boundaries, and goals. The impressive part is that this software can handle this complex of a parameter set at all.
I both love React and love frontend minimalism. I'm curious what you mean by "React is parallel to the DOM"
qmail in 32-bit mode (which was the default when it was written) had no issues. One issue was found in 64-bit mode without memory limits (against the explicit recommendation).

Most "safe" languages like Python are written in C and are full of segfaults, mostly due to the high churn rate and the attitude of the developers.

I haven't tried Rust yet, so I won't comment on that.
Guy Steele of course is a one of a kind, but just BTW, back in the day it was fairly common practice to try to squeeze bootstraps or other utilities onto one (or at least a tiny number of) cards, just as it was common to try to achieve the same thing with toggling in the same thing on front panel switches ("Ow, my aching fingers" :)

that assumption is really "theoretical" and personal. The visa conditions don't tell you can stay for an arbitrarily long time. As others have pointed out, H1B is explicitly temporary and does not in itself lead to a permanent residency path. The US is not like others countries, say UK, where staying for 10 years in some visas or 5 years in a work visa lead you to PR. What they've transformed the H1B in is sort of "unwarranted"
Swift Evolution Pitch: Reflection
Saturday night I ordered a Tempranillo and my wife ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon, I knew the glasses had been switched by smell.

I can usually tell the difference between a $10 bottle of wine and a $30 (CDN). If I couldn't, I would buy the $10 wine by the case. I would unlikely be able to tell a $30 cab from a $100 cab and would probably prefer the $30 one.

I don't think I am unusual or extraordinary in this sense.
I don't think intended purpose cashes out into anything here. Either UUID has enough random bits for your case as a session token or it doesn't. UUID isn't special.

I don't find any variable of TFA's hypothetical UUID-breaker scenario convincing either. Not the number of tokens issued, nor the adversary having Bitcoin network levels of compute, nor the ability to verify tokens at anything close to that speed.
I feel like the difference between cheap tasty pizza vs expensive tasty pizza is that I usually feel a lot worse after eating the cheap stuff. Physically worse, not emotionally worse because I cheaped out of something.
I don't care about wine, but the website is very pretty. I like the progress indicator on the left side.
I don't like wine, or know anything about it, but I once was invited to a blind wine tasting party at a ritzy yacht club. So, of course I searched around for the absolute cheapest bottle I could find, it cost me $0.99. It was voted #2 out of a dozen very expensive wines.

My conclusion is that wine prices are certainly fake. Maybe there are good and bad wines, but you can certainly get a top notch bottle of wine for a dollar.

> "attract subjects"

that's an interesting little phraseology/unsubstantiated theory of state, especially coming from a science publication. typically, you "subject" subjects, hence the word.

alternatively, if the redundancy bothers you, you can subject populaces instead.

Speak for yourself. Upscaling a DVD to a 4k large TV looks tremendously bad unless you're doing it with specialized software with some format-aware intelligence in it. So you need a computer hooked to your TV.

There's plenty of bitrate starved streaming content that's available on streaming that's poorly upscaled from a DVD, but that's not the case on studio upscale Blu-Rays with extremely plentiful bitrates and sometimes even film re-scans resulting in a quality that was better than what you could even get in the theater from the original film stock.
HaCF did spice the engineering up from reality by using an LCD screen instead of a CRT. I don't think contemporary LCDs were up to the task, but I could be wrong.

Luggable microcomputers were not new at this point, both Osborne and Kaypro had z80 CP/M systems that were luggable.

Not a full script, but might make for a scene. One of the editors of Dr. Dobbs confessed to this:

He was working for the Columbia, SC city government on maintaining the code on their mainframe. However, due to some bureaucratic mixup, he never got the parking pass he was supposed to get, and kept getting parking tickets. But, as it so happened, the tickets were issued by the mainframe he was programming. So he just changed the code to make all of his parking tickets disappear.
There's probably a non-trivial amount of folks that equate a UUID with "unguessable" given their appearance. They are, after all, not sequential and using them to obscure things like number of users (using a UUID in place of an incrementing number) seems like a natural fit.

Given how easy it is to generate a UUID in most languages, and given the low likelihood of a collision within a system - it wouldn't be a huge leap to think UUID's could replace homebrewed random string generators for things like password reset tokens, etc.
Speaking of which, “people prefer” is really vague (if not a weasel wordy) in this kind of studies-say-aphorism.

If there were 6 subjects, does it mean “5-6 of them changed their answer depending on the experiment” or “2 consistently preferred coke, 2 consistently preferred pepsi, and 2 don’t really care but bring the vote to a 4/6 majority based on confounding factors”

$1B handout instead of changing crazy CA regulation artificially limiting Diablo output so they can claim % of renewables?

>The main driver deterring PG&E from seeking a 20-year operating licence extension is the 2015 renewable portfolio standard (RPS) of producing 50% of its electricity from qualified renewable energy sources by 2030. PG&E’s model for the future cost of operating Diablo Canyon indicated that the cost per kilowatt hour was going to almost double, since the company would be forced to lower the amount of power it could produce from the plant in order to meet the state’s requirement. Dropping the capacity factor from the current 92% to say 50% would virtually double the price per kilowatt hour since costs are largely fixed.

>The state law which effectively dictates that by 2030 Diablo Canyon should operate at lower capacity each year and buy in power from intermittent renewables has apparently sealed the fate of the plant.
Ask HN: How would you rewrite what you’re working on?
Every project I work on, as a thought experiment, I like to think about how I might approach the project from scratch, knowing all the things I know today. Sometimes it leads to actual proposals on new features or architectural changes, based on those thought experiments, but rarely. Obviously it’s not a good idea to actually rewrite things, but it’s fun to think about.

For example, one thing that has come up repeatedly in the last year is thinking of ways to remove React/Vue/etc and the “front end” entirely. Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing, but it results in a lot of duplicated effort (validation, business logic, etc) and maintaining multiple presentation logics (API, front end, mobile apps). I’d probably explore using something like htmx combined with switching off of the Accepts header to return a JSON or HTML response. Or maybe rewriting everything in a language that can run (or be compiled to run) in the browser.

Anyway, knowing everything you know today about your current project, how would you rewrite it to avoid or solve your current pain points?

> Most European countries have much more stringent immigration policies

Depends on your definition of stringent. You picked the one outlier - Switzerland - where apparently your canton gets to vote on whether you become a citizen. Or something crazy like that, idk.

Most European nations I'm familiar with let you become a permanent resident after residing legally for a certain number of years, and passing a language test. Then citizenship after some more years and more tests.

Is the US very different from that? Unless you're born in India or China...in which case, you might have an easier time in Europe.

We have a wonderful opportunity to reestablish some of the old kingdoms in England as states in a federal United Kingdom. Duchies of Mercia, Wessex, Northumbria, Lancaster, London, Yorkshire and so on (as well as Scotland and Wales) with both elected parliaments and local constitutional nobles would be a brilliant way of making things more equal, driving local development, revitalising the monarchy and maintaining tradition.
My experience is that the $20 bottles tend to be made to fit into <50 archetypes. The producers are trying to fit into a specific flavor profile, and are very good at hitting it. There are variations, but usually I would think of those variations as "imperfections," not as "character."

Once you get to $50 and above, they are trying to show you something unique, perhaps an expression or a particular flavor they like or an expression of the local terroir.

In the workplace, I've seen a few people crash into a burnout and it was always your list in reverse order.

It starts with work being rather meaningless or just spinning wheels. It takes an enormous amount of effort to achieve little progress and even then the outcome doesn't bring about a great satisfaction, it is rather vague.

Which is then followed by cynicism. Which self-sabotages a way out, because with cynicism you'll be sure everything feels meaningless, even if it isn't.

Next, people grind through this perpetual state of deep unhappiness for the longest time possible, because showing vulnerability is taboo, plus bills have to get paid. Until the mind snaps, and subsequently the body.

Literally a countdown of your list: 3, 2, 1. Game over.

In the case of millennials, the link to work seems weaker. They seem to have a generic existential dread to them.

In a filing to the Supreme Court, NSO said it should be recognized as a foreign government agent and therefore be entitled to immunity under US law limiting lawsuits against foreign countries.

Curious, did a government step forward to agree with NSO that it should be recognized as a foreign government agent? If so, is this publicly documented, and more importantly, is it material to the case?
