It's not that I don't see it this way or don't value those things. It's that companies I work for haven't valued them. Doing this won't positively affect my evaluations, but taking time away from other work to do it well, will negatively affect them.

If the company would prefer to pay the long-term cost of having no or poor documentation than to pay me to do it now, that's up to them I guess. I take my own notes and go on with my life.
good point - also can't be covered by an insurance policy or reimbursement or pay increase or special bonus.

"Sturgeon's law (or Sturgeon's revelation) is an adage stating "ninety percent of everything is crap". It was coined by Theodore Sturgeon, an American science fiction author and critic, and was inspired by his observation that, while science fiction was often derided for its low quality by critics, most work in other fields was low-quality too, and so science fiction was thus no different."

Well, maybe "no reason" is a bit strong. Organizations cannot be engineered to be compassionate; compassionate individuals can make an organization more compassionate, but the bottleneck will always be finding people who are compassionate, have subject matter expertise, and are willing to work for the wages offered.

And even with compassion there are still problematic situations. Involuntary confinement of any sort requires a careful application of principles -- when is it okay to confine someone; when and how do you decide when they can or must be released; who can make the judgment calls and what checks are in place to prevent abuse. These are questions that seem to have no good answers.
They could also just add the site to that list, or better yet, make it opt in for sites instead of slamming them with shitty workers, and shitty defaults.

You know, like be good neighbors and respectful of other people's resources, maybe read robots.txt and not make excuses for why you are writing shitty stateless workers that spam the rest of the community.
Though - now I see on the first of the links I posted, they show much higher idle power draw for the Intel parts, around 22-24W. I wonder why they have different numbers for the same parts on different articles.
Typically when a fixture like that is connected to a live line it is pretty well grounded. In this case it sounds like the grounding wasn't perfect and pretty much turned you and the mirror into a voltage divider. Your saving grace was the fact that you were the bigger resistor. If the mirror wasn't mostly grounding out the circuit, the wet skin would have provided nil resistance and you would have probably at least been burned if not killed.
Agreed! To me and all the gamers I know, Steam (and consoles) is gaming, whereas cell phone games are that scammy market full of skinner boxes, ads, and deliberately broken games designed to milk you for money. I never would have guessed that most of the world disagrees, and cell phone game sales are probably 10x the revenue of Steam game sales.
One additional thing I like in structured logs is having some form of context level information be included eith your logs, so that you already know things like tenant id, user id, request id, and basic parameters of the request without having to rewrite all that everytime you get an exception.

Unrelated: I live in the Pacific north west and I clicked on this expecting to find a list like "don't log old growth for timber, don't log the entire area", fun how your brain can associate a word with a concept and ignore the more context-relevant meaning.
It's like how Google Docs' concurrent editing was born from the ashes of Google Wave.
I agree that it's a meaningless number by itself. The interesting part for me was seeing that the number of connected users went up by 50% over pandemic, from 20M to 30M. Given that Steam was pretty mature at that point, that's a big jump. Presumably it was due to quarantine. But it's also interesting that nobody is really in quarantine right now, so breaking that record means they've just grown quite a bit despite already being very large. The games they're playing are (mostly) not new either, so this just reflects a massive growth in the platform qua platform over the last couple years.
Haha yeah the struggle is real. Still, the majority of cars in the leftmost lane is usually expensive with a good suspension.

I recently floored it for hours in a Dacia Jogger, going its absolute Vmax of 175 km/h, and that was uncomfortable. The same in an Audi or BMW is hardly noticeable.
Vampire Survivors is probably the best mobile game I've had on my phone since the early 10s, before the massive dump-truck of ad-ridden shovelware buried any hopes that mobile gaming would ever be any good.

It's seriously refreshing to see the way they approached turning their game into a viable mobile product. No bullshit, but there are two (completely optional) ways to watch ads for some in game reward. You can watch an ad for a free revive after a run, or to get some bonus gold at the end of a run.

I took advantage of the free revive a few times, but the game itself eventually obviates the need for this (there are various ways to get extra lives in-game). I don't bother with the extra gold as it feels unnecessary.

Either way, I spent quite a few pleasant hours over the Christmas break listening to podcasts while fighting the undead hordes. Vampire Survivors is far more fun that it has any right to be for what it is. Hope they continue to sell well and add to the game.
That’s why I used Pocket and now Offpunk (disclaimer: it’s my own project).

When I find something that looks interesting, I place it in my "toread" list in offpunk. Then I go through that list, picking random articles and reading them… in less (the terminal pager).

It means no scrolling (hit space to display next page), no images, no cruft. Only text. I really read. And a majority of "looks interesting enough to read until the end" are in fact empty or soulless. Thankfully, following blogs through RSS + some gemini capsules, I’m never out of stuff to read. I start to build a relationship with the author, not expecting quick sugar but more a long term understanding of their work and their reflections. (I also read lot of books but I assume we are speaking of computer reading here).

The big takeaway is that, in a browser, I’m not really looking for stuff to read. I’m in fact looking for the dopamine rush of finding something that could be potentially interesting if I take the time to read it. This is frightening: it’s like spending more time watching trailers than watching a good movie (wait… that’s exactly what we are doing with my wife).

I think as soon as someone embeds the "excitement" or "sadness" and other emotions as training. Or perhaps combine it with GPT's abilities. There are no voice inflections. It's too dry and non-compelling. It's very much like a non-emotional programmer right now.

At least passing context objects everywhere is better than dynamic dependency injection. I'm in the "dump the logger in a global variable" boat too though.
Yup, you definitely want a website/linkedin. No need to obsess over it (WP, squarespace, webflow all have adequate templates to get started), but having that is one of the first things I check to see if someone is legit.

> Only when it drops off your report, which is 10 years after you pay it off.

I haven't seen what happens at 10 years, but there's definitely an effect after about a year; mine dropped 50 points, which isn't really tanking, but could switch you into a different risk category depending on where you started. Finishing up my car payments didn't help either.
> Whether he's a great programmer/contributor not isn't really important here.

I don't see why not. Personalities fall on a broad spectrum. Still seems strange to me that the recent broad pushes for more inclusiveness, including neuro-atypicality, does not cover people that inconvenience you personally.

> that would chase people out of the community with his behaviour [...] but it did make the Go community a better place

I've noticed that claims like this are never backed by any evidence of this improvement, or evidence of people who have actually been chased away by rudeness. It no doubt causes great relief in the minds of those who dislike the exiled person, but it's always justified with a broader claim that "it's for the greater good".

I understand comments can be non-constructive, and that some people are more prone to it, but total exile is a big hammer that should be used more judiciously IMO.
Does anyone have good resources on what other non us countries do? Asking as an American curious/wanting to learn more.
The only downside of VS as a mobile game is that runs last 30 minutes (at the beginning of the game, surviving to the end of the timer is rare, but after you've done some upgrades and know the weapon combos usually you'll make it to the end.)

It works just fine to pause and come back to a run, but well... you won't want to, and all of a sudden you're burning half-hour blocks of time watching the pretty particles flash around the screen.

Really great "podcast game" though. (By which I mean it will occupy your fingers while you listen to something instead of getting distracted by HN or whatever).
> So the argument here is that if you have few followers or loads of followers then the ratio of views to likes don't matter

Ratio between 0.05% - 1% shows good engagement. I rarely see it above 1%. Those are 'viral' tweets. I've never seen 2% or more.

Ratio regularly dropping below 0.05% without lots of replies/retweets is bad. A low ratio could mean high views from bots (e.g. Musk) or other non-follower sources, so replies/retweets help to indicate there is healthy engagement. Cory doesn't have that.

> if you're in the middle with 480k it's very important and shows that you're out of touch if you only get 1%?

The 480k is his _potential_ reach.

You aren't entitled to reaching all 480k of your followers. They follow other people. Their feed has limited space.

Similar to how Youtubers tell people to subscribe AND enable notifications. Doing so shortcuts the algo. You can do the same on Twitter. If the small % of followers that see your tweets don't engage, the feedback loop of getting to more of your followers never kicks off.

This is obvious with well-liked accounts. More obvious when these types of accounts are private because the like/view ratio is a higher signal (ie no fly-by views).

> If only 1% of users at any level are really engaging with the platform then its fair to say the platform has a problem.

Not a problem. It's the nature of the beast. Only a small % engage. The likes create a feedback loop that gets more views, but rarely breaks above 1% likes/views ratio. You see the same limits to conversion rates in other areas (e.g. advertising or eCommerce sales).

Prosperity for whom? The masters of mankind? Ordinary people? The country as a whole? The article never looks at the question.

Indeed if we could automate most tasks, as we can, we can eliminate a lot of work. The logical thing we ought to do then is pay a UBI so people can use the extra time, rather than exploit the remaining workers more and let the rest languish in poverty.
These are great stepping stones, thank you!
Think of IF as excercise for your cells' different metabolic pathways. People are able to live without ever walking or running, and some do, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to never excercise.

I know some people who have NEVER in their lives gone more than ~12 hours without a meal, and all of them are ~30 years old but with the standard array of contemporary american health problems more typical of people in their 40s. Our ancestors certainly entered ketosis at least occasionally. It seems like a drastic change to switch to never using that cellular process over a span of just 1 or 2 generations.
Obviously it’s all a matter of taste but there are people (myself included) that think practical effects complemented with CGI is still the right way to do action.

Top Gun Maverick would be a data point that a lot of people agree. No matter how good the CGI, actors con a sound stage in front of a green screen just behave differently than actors or stunt people actually doing action stuff.

Shitty? I would say those are relatively best consoles ever - cool, silent, and finally have fast SSDs. PS4 was a jet engine, and was extremely underpowered - it's graphics were already obsolete at launch. "Pro" version launched already three years after original one.

The supply chain stuff is real though and really hampered the adoption and prevalence of current-gen games.

If you could get hands on them, they've been best gaming "investment" you could make, compared to GPU prices.

This is the argument often made for Avatar against the "no cultural impact" observation. It still doesn't have any quotable lines or memorable characters.
I was in the same situation a few years ago. I settled on a managed investment with a major broker (I picked Charles Schwab but they all offer it). You pick a target rate and they invest based on it, handle tax loss, etc.

One unexpected benefit is if you have >$500k invested, it opens up some additional services that I had no idea 'rich' people had available. For example - I can borrow against my investments anytime at the libor rate w/out cashing them out. It's not <1% anymore, but still super attractive should you need some of the money in the future.

I also took this opportunity to fully fund 529s. I think it was easier to write off that money the day I got it than mentally earmark it.
A mix of both I think.

The plastic bag warning is aimed at parents of children mostly. Babies, love crinkly things. I know that my son when he started crawling would seek out the on floor garbage cans to play with the bags we used as a liner.

If you have someone who is not thinking about the ramifications, they would let the kid play with the bag, kid would end up putting it over their head(yay, surround sound) and some percentage would die.

There are similar warnings on buckets, about drowning. Kids that age love water, if they manage to get themselves head first in a 5 gallon bucket it only takes an inch of liquid of so for them to drown. Most people wouldn't think it takes so little.
Credit Karma isn't a real score.
Opt-out is still manual and undocumented process?

I am very concerned that "own assessment" of what is a DoS means that source code is expected to be hosted only on large platform or by large corporation which is another way to say that "the little guys don't matter".

Self hosting of source code should be an option and the proxy should be there to reduce the traffic load, not amplify or artificially increase that load despite the "level of DoS".

One thing Drew is asking for is to respect robots.txt to allow the operator to determine what a reasonable level is for that operator and not apply a github bias to it.
I owned a domain name similar to a popular email hosting service at one time and setup wildcard acceptance of all emails sent to it. The influx of typod emails was hilarious but overwhelming.
This isn't a realistic option in general and wouldn't impact the market enough to shift company behavior.

Instead, just like marketing was used to manipulate the public into bad buying habits, perhaps it may be possible to make fast fashion seem cheap and mass produced (which it is) and therefore undesirable. I.e., if you buy fast fashion, you're buying garbage and therefore dressing yourself in garbage (both true). You're also polluting the environment (true) which means climate change cache can be used profitably. Fast fashion must be seen as a kind of scam.
I enjoyed reading this but I have a mixed opinion on it at the end.

The rules and reasoning seem weak. Rule #1 (be prepared) seems fine. Rule #2 (be respectful) Seems to blur the distinction between respecting the danger and respecting your impact on the environment. You should of course do the latter, but not because you will be less likely to get hurt. Rule #3 (trust the statistics) I don't know what they're trying to get at, if there were fewer than 8 deaths per 10 million visits that would imply that it's a safe activity. They completely incorrectly say that the majority of deaths are men aged 55-64, when in fact that's just the largest group (we assume, the original report treats gender and age separately, but only 19% of deaths are in that age group). Even the source page mislabels the graph for this one.

Overall I just would have rewritten or cut out the end. It was what I thought was an interesting discussion on human actions but then it turned into something prescriptive with weak reasoning.

The statistics the article draws from: https://www.psbr.law/nevada/deaths-in-us-national-parks/
Why were people calling for Peter's ban? I'm having a hard time imagining behavior that is so toxic that it merits a ban when "publicly advocating for banning someone from the community" is apparently fair play.
No. It is much smaller team as far as resources go. Compared to Swift for Apple or Java for Oracle, Go is not strategic bet for Google. There is absolutely no dependency on Go to develop services for Google platform in it. Hell, large number of Google employees spend time on disparaging Go. It does not happen for other company sponsored languages.
sourcehut's recommendations seem absolutely reasonable: (1) obey the robots.txt, (2) do bare clones instead of full clones, (3) maintain a local cache.

I could build a system that did this in a week without any support from Google using existing open source tech. It's mind boggling that Google isn't honoring robots.txt, is requesting full clones, and isn't maintaining a local cache.
I strongly suspect this was more widely exploited than what's being let on. I have received hundreds of Medicare robocalls where the caller was suspiciously able to suss out a fake dossier - even though street addresses and names would be plausible, but the birthday and SSN were fake.

I would definitely investigate this further to see if this knowledge was in the hands of criminals/scammers who were selling access for $$ over the past few years.
It only takes 80ma across your heart to stop it. Mains voltage, in both the US and the rest of the world, can easily develop that kind of current, especially if there is moisture involved. And yet plenty of folks have accidental contact without lasting effects. Electricity is fickle that way. The difference between, no problem and totally dead can be subtle, random and not obvious. It all depends on the path the current takes. Show it respect.
Good catch. Loaded figures for both and idle for AMD seem the same between the two articles...
It looks surprisingly low initially but I don't think it actually is. 10 million people, that is 1 in 800 of the world population. You sleep eight hours, that makes it 1 in 533 of all people awake. Then we have to divide out the part of the world population lacking the means to use Steam, Internet usage alone seems to be about 5 out of 8 according to the numbers a quick search turned up. This brings us down to 1 in 333 at most, their might however be a correlation between Internet users and being awake. Then we have console gaming vs PC gaming even though streaming and handhelds might make this a bit fuzzy. An older number I found says 1 in 3 are playing on a PC, dropping us to 1 in 111. And people of course do many other things besides playing games including not playing games at all, but it gets progressively harder for me to come up with realistic numbers and more and more correlations will make just multiplying fractions more and more wrong, so I will leave it a that.
> I would absolutely hate having to work next to a jet-engine or having a fridge-sized rig to fit some absurd cooler.

Even SFF cases can fit 240mm or 280mm AIOs these days.

Old standby heat sinks like the Noctua NH-D15 can cool 200-300W CPUs quietly, and they fit in common cases. They have a 120mm tall version for slightly smaller cases that doesn’t give up much in benchmarks.

I think the cooling challenges have been overblown, honestly. It’s kind of trivial to quietly cool powerful CPUs these days.

> My 135W-rated Xeon does get audibly loud despite the big-ass Noctua,

Unless there’s something wrong with airflow or your mounting, your fan curves are almost certainly too aggressive.

A lot of motherboards, especially workstation and server boards, will ramp fans to 100% by default. You probably don’t need that. Adjust the curves until it’s quiet, don’t worry about getting the absolute lowest possible temperatures. This is what OEMs do. If you build your own, you’re expected to do it yourself.
They did not, because the number wasn't estimated by adding up predicted time per tracker or service, but by determining this is about the maximum the market can bear - i.e. a steady state of the system.

Curiously, Stratfor also predicted 60% chance of the US going to war with the EU before 2036, due to EU privacy regulation threatening to shut down the increasingly adtech-based US economy.

Why the burden of making this google-specific rate-limiter should fall on Sourcehut ? They are a small team and a user-agent-per-repo specific limiter have rare uses.

Google should definitely fix their shit, but when we see that a googler said "it would be a fair bit of extra work for us to read robots.txt", I understand the frustration on Sourcehut side, and banning an user agent is usually just a single line of configuration to add.
