It seems reasonable to prefer a short delay by default, but when you are sending multi-magabyte files (lfs’s entire use case) it seems like it would be better to make the connection more reliable (e.g. nobody cares about 200ms extra delay).

Honestly I think that for many, Forth may be a bit too much of a green field to build upon.

Out of the box, out of the standard, there no real structured data type ala records, there's no strings, there's no modular coding construct. All of those can be added, but that's the trick. They have to be added. You also start getting into implementation specific stuff that, potentially, makes that kind of infrastructure not portable across implementations.

Not that portability is a huge concern, but it's a factor if you want to import someone else's implementation.

All of that can be overcome, but that they have to be overcome is part of the problem. Original scheme suffered from this as well, but look how far it's come over time. To the point that all "usable" schemes aren't really the 50 page R5RS versions anymore.

It also doesn't help that Forth niched its way into controllers and smaller systems. Forth had all of the availability advantages early on, perhaps even more so, than C, Pascal, etc. But, organically, Forth never caught on.

It's fair to say that Lisp suffered "not enough computer" issues early on to hinder adoption, but that's long past. But Lisp still suffers adoption, when pretty much every complaint about it is long buried -- save its syntax.

And I just think folks, again, organically, "wisdom of the crowds" don't like S-Exprs for code. They just don't like it. It's off-putting enough that folks look elsewhere.

Forth, in the end, suffers similarly. All of these demos and mini DSL examples look great. But they're contrived. Take a look at any Forth code you can find and see if you can make sense of it. Especially "modern" code, where we "know better" and aren't constrained by file size, or line size, or "screens" or "blocks".

Take a look at that Zen's github.

And try to make sense of it.

"The science-policy relationship in times of crisis: An urgent call for a pragmatist turn" ( August 2022 )

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027795362...

Keywords:

Crisis, Public health policymaking, Uncertainty, Knowledge, Pragmatism, Covid-19

Abstract:

"In this conceptual paper, we argue that at times of crisis, what is sometimes called “evidence-based” or “science-driven” policymaking—establishing scientific truths and then implementing them—must be tempered by a more agile, deliberative and inclusive approach which acknowledges and embraces uncertainty. We offer pragmatism as one potential option, using examples from the UK to illustrate how such an approach might have changed particular crisis decisions and led to better outcomes. We propose that to better prepare for the next public health crisis, five pragmatism-informed shifts are needed in the science-policy relationship: from scientism to science-informed narrative rationality that emerges from practice; from knowledge-then-action to acting judiciously under uncertainty; from hierarchies of evidence to pluralist inquiry; from polarized camps to frame-reflective dialogue; and from an “inside-track” science-policy dialogue to greater participatory democracy. We suggest an agenda for a pragmatist-informed program of applied research on crisis public health policymaking."

Ask HN: How to stand out as TPM / PM with technical bg
Hi everyone,

Last year I decided to take the opportunity to broaden my options and join a growth stage startup (in crypto space with $100M + series A) as a TPM. Basically, I was getting bored with leetcode / having to reskill constantly and had a solid offer to immediately enter as a freshy PM without having to transition after 1yr as an IC.

I'm still a bit on the fence, I've enjoyed my current org since I've still been able to code on products I like while building new skills as a technical product manager.

I largely see this path as carrying more leverage, I like strategy and I have about 4 years of startup and FAANG tech experience prior to making my transition.

I'm coming up on 1.5yrs of being a PM and I'm now looking to max TC (looking for $160k + currently remote but I have an apt in NYC). I took a bit of a hit with my current job since when they hired me I had zero PM experience.

Any advice for making myself appealing to FAANG PM roles /things to consider? I've had recruiters reach out and had a few startups looking for founding PM's mention I "didn't have as much technical experience" as they'd like. Not sure what to make of this exactly.

Thanks!

1. CloudFlare already gets this information since they're getting the unencrypted DNS traffic. The actual argument you're making here is that a single company owning all the data is a better situation than anybody being able to see that information.

2. Why should their workflow be broken so that the dns info gathered by CloudFlare is more valuable to CloudFlare.

3. The argument is that doh through privately owned servers is bad, so I don't know why you tried to specify that only CloudFlare is bad. DoH is, by definition, more centralized than DNS servers unless all DNS servers implement some form of doh. In which case you're not using doh and you're just updating dns to support encryption. If every DNS server doesn't implement doh then you're just adding a few centralized points which have access to unencrypted DNS data, making that data more valuable to the private entities holding it.
The problem being that browser vendors tend to implement Web APIs early, before the API and the respective specifications are frozen and are still likely to vary. They may even implement a certain (still valid) interpretation of the specs, which then turns out to be not exactly what everybody else eventually implements, but may stick to this for some time. (There are examples for about every browser vendor on the planet for this. Without this, if everybody had waited for finalized specs, we wouldn't have web sockets, web databases, or Web RTC for years now.) How do you handle this without version numbers?

Because the current software development approach/practices/tools used close to everywhere are fundamentally flawed driving software development cost to absurdity and making it not viable to not use electron (which allows you to reuse most of the web-client code).

Investing in stocks does provide jobs and income to others. When you buy stocks, the money goes to finance the business.

When you buy art, the money goes to the artist.

I assume it was in their head.

I don't know exactly how large of a times table I have in my head, but it's larger than 10x10, more like 15x15. A 60x60 table is 16 times larger than that, but I also learned my times table in elementary school and being a scribe or whatever the job title was for a guy who multiplied was very likely a full time job for a grown Babylonian. Learning your times tables up to 60x60 seems totally plausible.

It's not hard to find sources about slavery in Asia.

"Slavery in Korea formally existed from antiquity up to the 20th century. Slavery was very important in medieval Korea; it was a major institution. [...] The Korean "nobi" system of slavery peaked between the 15th and 17th centuries and then declined in the 18th and 19th centuries." [1]

"The Mongol Empire (1206-1368) had a tremendous impact on slavery across Eurasia. While slaves played a minor role in pre-Imperial Mongolia, the Mongols saw people as a resource, to be distributed among the imperial family and used for imperial needs, like material goods. This view created a whole spectrum of dependency running from free men to full slaves." [2]

The reason Forth is not used in production is that its philosophy goes against that of commercial software. The goal of commercial software is to create complex and over-engineered solutions that will force people to pay in one way or another. Languages like C++, Java, Python, and Go are ideal for this. Forth is about creating very simple solutions in as little code as possible. It is better suited for embedded systems and prototype projects.
In a temporary crisis, the mandate is to enact policies that calm panic, even if they aren't just or scientific (and they usually aren't).

Nobody is really addressing the truth or lack of truth of that statement, we're all just slinging mud.

Sure, but "CloudFlare can see my data but my ISP can't" is strictly better from a privacy perspective than "CloudFlare and my ISP can both see my data".

> Why should their workflow be broken

My point is their workflow doesn't actually have to be broken.

Huh?

> The argument is that doh through privately owned servers is bad

How is it any worse than insecure DNS through privately owned servers, which basically everyone uses today?

> DoH is, by definition, more centralized than DNS servers unless all DNS servers implement some form of doh.

Is IPv6 also by definition more centralized than IPv4, since not all IPv4 servers implement some form of IPv6?

> In which case you're not using doh and you're just updating dns to support encryption.

What are you saying is the difference between those two things? And don't forget there's a huge anti-censorship benefit, even if you don't care about privacy at all.

> making that data more valuable to the private entities holding it.

Wait, are you arguing that reducing the number of entities that can access our data is a bad thing, since then our data will be more valuable to the ones who still can? That seems completely backwards.
I'll give you a few examples, and maybe I'll run a casual poll next time we get a beer. No venmo.

I will point out that leader election generally has very long timeouts (seconds), but a common theme here is that you do lots of things that are not leader election but have short timeouts which can cause systems to reconfigure because the system generally wants to run in a useful configuration, not just a safe configuration.

In a modern datacenter, 100 milliseconds is ample time to determine whether a server is "available" and retry on a different server - servers and network switches can get slow, and when they get THAT slow, something is clearly wrong, so it is better to drain them and move that data somewhere else. When the control plane hears about these timeout failures from clients, it dutifully assumes that a server is offline and drains it.

Usually, this works well: The machine to machine latency within a datacenter has way less than 100 microseconds, and if you include the OS stack under heavy load, it might get all the way to 1 millisecond. Something almost always is wrong if a very simple server can't respond within 10-100 milliseconds. This results in 10-100 millisecond response times meaning "not available" at the lower layers of the stack. As I mentioned before, enough reports of "unavailable" results in a machine being drained, and a critical number of these results in an outage.

Attack of the killer microseconds is a good paper that addresses the issue here (albeit obliquely): https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3015146

Here are a couple of examples:

* There is a very important 10 ms timeout in Colossus (distributed filesystem) to determine the liveness of a disk server - I have seen one instance where enough of a cell broke this timeout due to a software change, and made the entire cell go read-only. In another instance, a small test cell went down due to this timeout under one experiment.

* Another cell went down under load due to a different 10 ms liveness timeout thanks to the misapplication of Nagle's algorithm (although not to networking) - I forget if it was a test cell or something customer-facing.

* Bigtable (NoSQL database) has a similar timeout under 100 ms (but greater than 10 ms) for its tablet servers. I'm sure Spanner (NewSQL database) has the same.

> When you buy stocks, the money goes to finance the business.

Only if you’re buying directly from the business, which you’re usually not. Usually you’re just buying from another shareholder (could be another individual, a mutual fund, a hedge fund, whatever).

The proceeds may indeed end up filtering into the rest of the economy (I may sell you the stock to pay my mortgage, the hedge fund pays their traders), but the money doesn’t fund the business of the traded company.
You're confusing ConsenSys and Protocol Labs.

ConsenSys was founded by Joe Lubin, and is the corporate entity behind MetaMask, Infura, etc. It counts MasterCard and JP Morgan as investors.

Protocol Labs was founded by Juan Benet and is the primary sponsor of IPFS and the dev team behind Filecoin. They're funded primarily from the private token sales of FIL.

Agree with the sibling comment that the focus on modularity and solving "all of the things" rather than focusing on adoption seems to be a pattern with Protocol Labs, though I'm a big fan of what they're trying to build.
