Okay so I've been struggling with focus and sitting down to study for a while now and I'm starting to get into the right track again, here is more or less what I did, it's nothing groundbreaking but it seems to be working for me:

1. Go study/work somewhere else, I went to the college library or cafe, far enough not to be too much of a hassle (around 30/40min) but not close enough that I can go there for 1 hour and then walk home again in 5 minutes. The fact that you have a significant return trip will force you to stay longer.

2. Just start and power through, each day will be a bit easier. This is the key part. I could maybe work for 1h or 2h at the begging but very quickly (I was close to the finals) started getting more into it, I took more interest into what I was studying and it became easier to sit through more hours of studying. (1 and 3) will help you with this, as it's easy to get distracted at home.

3. Try to keep electronic devices to a minimum, I had my laptop but I can't game in it and wouldn't jump into Youtube or anything because I was surrounded by people at the library. The lid was kept closed unless I absolutely needed it to check something. I know this is harder if you need to perform work with the PC but you can always block distractions with something like Cold Turkey.

4. Divide and itemize all your tasks, in my case it was very easy because I had a list of exercises and I just started doing ALL of them in order, only skipping when one was too hard. This meant I always knew what to do next. Each exercise was simple enough not to take too much time and putting the tick next to it was satisfying. I know this isn't as easy in a work environment but try to atomize as much as possible.

Eventually you might not even need to work somewhere else, work/studying will become enough of an amusement that you will want to do it, and other less-rewarding activities such as watching YouTube will become less appealing, at least that's what's happening to me. But you CAN NOT lose the tempo, if you take a couple of days off you will go back to procrastinating.

Extra tip: many days where I felt like doing nothing, taking a shower (cold is better, at least for half a minute or so, then you can switch to hot), getting dressed and going out for a walk or doing chores will vastly improve my desire to work/study upon return. Staying home is the worst you can do, this is also why working somewhere else is great but if you can not do it because you have children or whatever you can try working-out or going for a walk in the morning.
Hmm, I haven't looked at all of them in detail, but CNAME uncloaking in particular I believe is a very commonly used tracking vector.
I miss AS. I used it to build a gis engine that packed 5D into what superficially looked like 2D - item renderers helped make that happen. It is aggravating to no end to watch people pile on Flash for its faults - they either don't understand what was lost or just don't want to understand the loss. Steve Jobs is in this group.
Ok but to buy in levels bulk you need a car right?

So what's cheaper, buying food in bulk while owning a car. Or buying food at the corner store while not owning a car?

Not to mention that with a cheap second hand bicycle you should be able to reach the same super-market chain that most people drive to and pay the same prices.

And you are also ignoring the storage issue. If you buy in bulk you just pay for the storage cost. The same goes for waste, the US has absurd levels of food waste. The reason, people buy in bulk don't consume it and throw it away. That what you get when you have a culture where people make big trips to big box stores.

Also, what about infrastructure cost. How much infrastructure cost is between your house and that big box store, who pays for that?

Also where do you park the car? Free street parking is clearly society subsidizing the rich, and should be abolished. How much does a garage cost?

In your world the ideal society is one where everybody can drive to Cosco once a month and load a car full with ever possible thing?

So you are complaining on the wrong level. People aren't poor because a corner store is slightly more expensive, they are poor because land use patterns for them and society into ineffective way off live.

Hi there, I'm Raffi, one of the co-founders of Lago (Billing API).
I think this dilemma is amplified with specific topics like authentication, permissions or billing. Even if you come with a home-made solution that took you a month to build, it's a month that you've not dedicated building your own product. The second reason is because they require a lot of maintenance. Building a first version is never enough, especially if you have a sales or marketing team with a lot of imagination/needs. When we built a billing engine for a fintech (Qonto, that is now an European unicorn), the home made billing system took a month or two to develop, but it became a monster: iterations every month, new features asked by non tech users, new behaviors, bugs. The team of 2 engineers working on billing ended up being a core team of 12 people. We switched from backend engineers to billing engineers (that is not particularly funny when it's not your core product).

Again, it depends your needs and the complexity required by your business. Happy to discuss that deeper if needed.

When I was younger some of my friends who had very limited income could often not afford to top up their cell phone minutes, but still had their phone with an address book full of numbers in their pocket. I would lend them my phone and they'd call someone from the list in their phone using my phone.

I feel like someone who relies on free or community phones would have a similar book of numbers that are meaningful to them.

Of course if you're looking to call somewhere new, then that's definitely an issue.
Kaggle is what they talk about in my industry.

Dumb question if i may, but what is the time saving with "an alternate layout engine"? Ie i don't even know what a layout engine is in this context, and how it would save me time over FOSS versions like mermaid.

I'm tempted to give it a shot, but i don't get what the paid version would actually net me. I'm toying with the Playground now, and in many (most?) cases the TALA version (which i think is the paid version?) seems identical to the Dagre version (Mermaid, i think?)

I'm also having difficulty finding where i'd even buy it. Hmm

edit: Ah https://terrastruct.com/tala/ might have some of my answers
I think that this is good because it really does describe what software dev used to be like, and remnants of this still exist in a lot of major institutions. I've recently had to jam a cloud first solution through an architecture review board with largely hands off keyboard type jobs, so the priests at least rang true to me.

It's easy to overestimate how hard open source has won, and how little influence "Not invented here complex" has on most systems. Most software now comes in a stack, and other companies use the same stack with some light add ons. The most common experience of software development wasn't like that as late as 2010. The New York times used to maintain it's own programming language whose only application was the NYT website. Trello did too, and there are many companies that did that without hitting the conference circuit about it.

The big shift that made the world we're in now is the idea of domain specific languages largely going away and the idea of software being an integrative practice replacing them. The big cultural marker might be MIT switching their intro course from scheme to python in the late 00s.
I had no part in any of that.

> Furthermore, policy informed by sentiments like yours have been tried and failed.

We have been running this kind of policy for decades in Germany, and the only ones complaining are people who don't care about their neighbors and society but only care for themselves and their enjoyment.

> That means dealing with city stuff, which means hearing and smelling your neighbors and maybe a good old fashioned riot every 50yr or so.

Surprise, I'm living right in the inner area of Munich. The only thing causing noise here is the street with an active 5-10 minute service bus line, and that's gotten better as the buses began to be switched over to hybrid and recently electric models. When we make a bbq event or a birthday party, it's customary here to ask the neighbors if it's OK, and to offer to come around for a beer and a steak. It's called "not being an arsehole on purpose", a concept that seems to be very foreign to Americans, at least on Reddit.
Nothing? It's a good text editor, but it's not an IDE
Oops you are right! That's a depressing reminder how long it's been since I was a research mathematician (when I wouldn't have made that mistake... probably).

In fairness, "circle" is fairly often used to refer to the 2d shape, even sometimes in real maths contexts e.g. "squaring the circle" in classical geometry is never referred to as "squaring the disc". In fact I suspect use of "circle" to refer exclusively to the 1d boundary probably comes a very long time after the word first existed in the English language. And even when I was a research mathematician, I never would've corrected someone if it was really clear from the context that they were talking about the 2d shape (which, to be honest, is true of my comment above).
Not sure what you mean. As far as I know both Google's and Microsoft's versions are used by Workspace and O365 corporate customers extensively.

They're not really meant to be standalone apps, but to be used during remote whiteboarding meetings.

If you're not in that corporate environment, you're not really the intended consumer, although some people find it's useful for home/family stuff.

So the idea that this hasn't worked for Google and Microsoft doesn't really hold water. Their apps seem to be successful as intended.

Basically at this point, a whiteboarding app has turned into a necessary part of any "office suite" that contains videoconferencing. Hence, Apple has added it to their own "suite".
Coinbase goes as far as publishing the exact identification numbers of all the short term US treasuries they hold that back the USDC they emitted. They say they're held in custody at BNY Mellon (IIRC). It would be quite the lie if that wasn't true and I'm pretty sure many people are now carefully looking into these affirmation / proof of reserves / etc.

Coinbase also always had exorbitant fees compared to other exchanges (but who's looking "smart" now, those who paid the huge fees at Coinbase or those who were paying 0.000001% / operation at FTX and are now fucked?), which at least make it sound like making money on actual fees was their business model.

Now: Coinbase is leaking money by having revenues which fell and running costs through the roof.

But, in the short term, if FTX is gone and if Binance goes, Coinbase becomes number one. They're already number two and it's very likely that Coinbase's volume is real (contrarily to Binance).

Coinbase is a HN unicorn, US incorporated. The people behind it are known.

They may be behind a huge scam but somehow I don't think so.

Also I do really wonder: now that rates have gone up, they've got $53 bn actual USD bringing it a significant amount of money. Where's that money going? For a start they're not giving the yeld to people storing USDC in their own private wallet in a "your key / your coins" style. What about the USDC held at Coinbase for customers? Do they give yeld on that?

$53 bn or so is a lot of money with 4 to 5% yeld or something...

In reply to both:

Yes. I agree. Messages sucks.

But most of the team is nontechnical, and don’t want to use Slack. I am not in a position to insist otherwise.

Messages works OK for most quick conversations, but is no good for anything of technical substance.

So I am keeping my options open for alternative mediums that the team will actually use.

I was wondering if that was possible. But, I don't think the range of ips would be accurate, since they might have multiple gateways(?). Also, if I'm traveling, I'd need a home VPN to whitelist.
Hey, so I thought I remembered your username. This isn’t the first interaction we’ve had, or I’ve seen you have, that follows this similar pattern. In fact it’s the third example from you under this post!

It’s not a particularly pleasant experience to discuss anything with you, as after you make a particularly vapid comment that is naturally rebuffed you seem to just try to make snarky replies rather than engage.

Please understand that if you post your hot takes here they may be discussed and challenged, and if you don’t want this then I would refrain from initially commenting.

In response to your comment: They do. All Kubernetes resources are typed with JSON-schema definitions. Because of course they are, how else would kubernetes validate anything. https://kubernetesjsonschema.dev/

Anyone who’s used k8s at all knows this, if only from the error messages. From this you get autocompletion and a wide ecosystem of gui configuration tools that work with everything, including custom resource definitions, which is really cool.

I used to like lens (https://k8slens.dev/desktop.html), but now I use the k8s plugins from IntelliJ
> theft only exists in the context of existing property rights

Of course the law didn’t exist before it was written, but copying others’ content was viewed as stealing, which is why there was a push to turn it into real, legal theft. Apologies for using shorthand. What words would you have chosen? Maybe you can make my point better than I can, because the law was in fact written in response to an actual problem people had of being able to recoup their investments.

I don’t agree that ‘theft’ requires existing legal property rights to exist, that is not the definition of the word, so your claim is inaccurate. Theft is the act of stealing, which is taking something without permission. It can be one-sided from the perspective of the person who was taken from, and still be theft.
The JVM proponents are usually being dishonest when they compare Java/Kotlin AOT compilation to Go. They know very well that a large number of popular libraries either outright don't work or have severe restrictions when using AOT. It's also common to run into bugs since Graal is relatively new and only a miniscule percentage of the Java community uses it. It's not even remotely close to Go where everything can be assumed to work.

No, you can bribe your neighbors to sign contracts to avoid whatever non-violent behavior disgusts you. Getting some majority of your friends to make a local law to do it is just a subsidy, paid for by the people whose behavior is physically harmless behavior is being constrained. Not everyone has the same pursuit of happiness.
Looks nice!

I have an improvement suggestion for the playground: have some pre-defined examples I can open from a menu and mess around with.
My guess is it's both.
It’s kind of dumb to stick oil in the ground anyway. Used oil is still valuable, when you “recycle” it most people don’t realize it’s going to be burned by a recycling facility. But if you have a diesel engine, or a diesel heater, you can actually use it as fuel.
First, the Twitter files show that the Trump administration did make requests to Twitter. Of course old Twitter didn’t let us know, so your hypothetical is already disproven by the world we do live in. We still don’t know what those requests were because (tellingly) Musk won’t disclose those.

Also remember that for as much as conservatives say that Twitter is a bastion of left wing thought, Trump was permitted on the platform even though he repeatedly violated the TOS. He was treated better than most any Twitter user up until he used the platform to stage an attempted coup against the US government. So not only was Twitter protecting him, the bar for taking action against him was astronomically high.

Moreover, Trump didn’t have to use Twitter to suppress the Russia investigation; he obstructed justice and then his hand-picked attorney general used the DOJ to run interference on the Mueller report, which mainstream media credulously accepted. That’s far worse than anything alleged in the so-called Twitter files, but you didn’t see Republicans mad at the DOJ for that.

This is why their current indignation over the Twitter Files rings so hollow. If the FBI is really acting politically through Twitter, part of the cause must be the politicization of the DOJ under Trump administration, which was gleefully used as a political tool for 4 years. You’ll never see that level of self-reflection though.

So my answer to the original question of “do these files contain valuable information?” is: maybe, but if you expect the people who are maddest about the Twitter Files to actually fix anything they allege, that would be like thinking Elon Musk is the guy to bring free speech to Twitter; the people who are the maddest are hypocrites only mad that this tactic is being used against them. They will happily use this tactic against others once they have power (all the while suggesting they will fix the issue). And we know this because they did exactly that from 2016 to 2020.

The problem is one of the precision of the question and the scope of the answer. Usually some questions are just indicative of a complete lack of understanding of the field, basically making a whole comp science course necessary to answer in depth.

I'm out in the far reaches of Sacramento County where it's mostly small farms and large lots. People pretty much do what they want and enforcement only comes around if someone makes an issue of things. Mostly there's a tacit agreement to mind your own business and everyone sticks to it.
I did consider that, and at first tried to, but then it asked me to verify my identity. Which I had done already years ago. I frankly did not feel like going through all the trouble of uploading my drivers license/supporting documents for $17. Maybe I'll try again before the 7 days is up? IDK it's the week of Christmas.
Usually HOAs have strict rules about running a business out of your home. Also, this is not about the cars or the repairs. This is a jackass that thinks he can skirt common sense and rules. Noise? Noise complain. Leaking oil? EPA. Parking all over the place? Towing.
> But I dont think its insidious for software to have good proprietary features that make the tool better.

Maybe not, but it's absolutely insidious to have open source features and then replace them with proprietary ones.
Even moreso than Coinbase being an American company, it's a PUBLIC american company that is scrutinized by the rules of american exchanges. This makes it more transparent financially than any other exchange that you can hold your crypto at.
At a high enough abstraction, it has absolutely everything to do with software development. Including the last sentence. I don't have the will to describe it, but I suppose with time it'll come together, or not.

And, if I had the context outside of my field, I wouldn't be surprised that it described a wide variety of other industries.
I hate this particular strip (not xkcd of course (which is 60% of the time wonderful) but this specific one).

It anthropomorphises the Rover and we have enough sad news from all over the place to also start to worry about that machine (not even an AI). The next one will be Voyager who is all alone in empty space or whatnot. It is enough that I speak to my computer already.
Who knows? Maybe better health = more spare f-s to give about abstract big picture issues.
The same thing applies to many other activities: fossil fuels, usage of single-use plastics that someone else will clean up, promotion of unhealthy and addictive substances like tobacco, etc.

I am skeptic that market mechanisms achieve the best outcomes at all times, but I'm positively certain they don't when externalities are not even priced in!

Unfortunately for anyone making a fuss about this, most suburbs tolerate the scourge of gas powered leaf-blowers every weekend, starting at an ungodly hour, and they're often louder than an angle grinder.

If your threat model includes hardware bugs, then a container doesn't really help, no? You can't really trust your containers without sandboxing them, and then you're killing your performance anyway.
