The Go team has been making progress toward a complete fix to this problem.

Go 1.19 added "go mod download -reuse", which lets it be told about the previous download result including the Git commit refs involved and their hashes. If the relevant parts of the server's advertised ref list is unchanged since the previous download, then the refresh will do nothing more than the ref list, which is very cheap.

The proxy.golang.org service has not yet been updated to use -reuse, but it is on our list of planned work for this year.

On the one hand Sourcehut claims this is a big problem for them, but on the other hand Sourcehut also has told us they don't want us to put in a special case to disable background refreshes (see the comment thread elsewhere on this page [1]).

The offer to disable background refreshes until a more complete fix can be deployed still stands, both to Sourcehut and to anyone else who is bothered by the current load. Feel free to post an issue at https://go.dev/issue/new or email me at rsc@golang.org if you would like to opt your server out of background refreshes.

Last few have been my own, but I heartily recommend first joining other startups as an early employee - you win if the company does well, but even if it doesn't, you can win by gaining many years of experience in a smaller number of calendar years.

The Elements of Statistical Learning, by Jerome H. Friedman, Robert Tibshirani, and Trevor Hastie. I’ve seen it referenced quite a few times and the TOC looks good.
I despise Keurig and all the waste. I have a very simple coffee routine now and it works fantastically.

I buy coffee grinds (I no longer have a working grinder or I'd buy beans) - I buy several blends (decaf/light/dark) and freeze them in a ziploc.

I tend to just make it for myself in which case this simple filter coffee setup works great [1]. Alternatively a french press or pour-over style filter setup is just as convenient and may yield more coffee (if you're preparing for spouse/etc).

Taste is quite good, and the cleanup is very simple. No maintenance. Coffee tastes great and takes very little time/materials - just need a kettle or stove + kit + grinds/beans.

Meanwhile in France, we're trying to convince people that nuclear energy doesn't emit CO2 and isn't more dangerous that the others.

Well, 4g/kWh.

Although the government has planned to construct 6 reactors, the historical "ecological" movement still makes fighting nuclear electricity their 1st priority.
I appreciate this feature a lot on sites like https://tio.run and https://mermaid.live/. However the URLs also get very long and I often want to run them through a shortener for e.g. posting to IRC. But there are worse problems to have!
I have a Stagg EKG Electric Kettle. It is quite featureful for a kettle, with variable temperature control and the ability to continuously hold at the desired temperature. Some might even consider it too featureful (particularly if you count the snake minigame easter egg), but in general its main features are things that coffee lovers appreciate and it's a popular product.

Of course, now they have released the "Pro Studio Edition", which in addition to the above also sends you updates over WiFi. What could go wrong?

I agree with some other commenters, though, that this is ultimately driven by consumers. I'm sure "Corporate" would love to be able to sell us all on minimalism so they could charge more for less. But consumers love features and frankly most don't care about waste. I agree with the sentiments in the article but it is very much a minority view.

I'm more of a cappuccino fan, and I have two coffee makers

1: A Nespresso that uses the classic pods

2: A Breville Barista Express

I highly recommend the Breville if you can find it used or on discount. We got ours from a man who got extremely into espresso and upgraded 6 months later to a very high end machine. I've had it for 2 years and it's very nice. I use it to make cappuccinos, espressos, or just regular coffee with milk by adding hot water to espresso shots (Americano).

The Nespresso is the quick solution if you just want espresso or cappuccino fast. The pods are ubiquitous, and you can usually find them for cheap. I definitely do not recommend the Nespresso Vertuo machines since the pods are very expensive and hard to find. Vertuo machines make coffee sized drinks, but in reality it's just a massive amount of pure espresso and not traditional American coffee like Keurig does. If you're leaning towards coffee, then just do old school pour over with a filter. You'll get better quality coffee, more options in what flavors you like, and it's generally faster. Just make sure you have a fast kettle or hot water machine.
I've used my SnowPeak titanium French press for years. It fixes the weak point of 99% of French presses -- the glass carafe that inevitably breaks when you're most vulnerable. (before you've had coffee!) It also makes great coffee every time. And you can take it camping with you!

And this is the upgrade pick. Expensive until you consider how much you save by making coffee at home.

zstd -10 is so very fast and so much better than gz that I am surprised every time I find someone still using gz for large files.

When I can get away with -16 for large file long term storage, I use it.
Wow, I had no idea about that, though Wikipedia seems to say that was Karen Allen's own idea for a backstory. I don't remember it from the film though apparently it is in the novelisation which I've never read.
They say that smell is deeply linked to memory and books often have a particular smell too, whether it's from the paper or the ink or whatever. I wonder if that plays into it as well? I was going to say someone should study this but it appears many people already have: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1747938X1...

I find a similar effect from taking notes by hand - it reinforces the information much more strongly than typing. In college this was my major "hack" to get as much as possible out of my classes.
I am genuinely intrigued as to why that's better?

Especially as in the second part of your comment you restrict shareability/usability significantly from what the author wants to achieve (IE I can't as a free user bash out a diagram and share it, then later do another and share with a different person).

In fact the solution is so elegant when you think on it; free account volume is incredibly scalable, zero storage cost, offer immediate value but also a really simple upsell to pro accounts (save to the DB so you don't have to save the URls).
I think entertainment in general may be very atavistic: I was shocked during an interview for a TV network (one of the three at the time) when the interviewer straight up told me he was looking for personal loyalty.

I don't get the drip hate. It makes perfectly good coffee. The main step functions in coffee quality for me were 1) A burr grinder and 2) get fresh roasted light to medium roast beans

Everything else had negligible benefit for me. I tried the French press and Aeropress thing a while but it's way too labor intensive for how much I drink (one "10" cup drip pot per day).
Reduced pollution caused farmers to use more sulfur fertilizer
I'm hoping we haven't hit the "uncanny valley" of ML generated text yet, and we will get to a point where something very deep in our brain is able to pick up that ML generated text isn't something coming from a genuine person (much like how lots of people intuitively understand that marketing copy is valueless) and viscerally react to it in a negative way.

It would be the only possible defense against this dystopian crap.
Marketing works in mysterious ways.

Yes, I do imagine that people who are really into Go are more likely than average to join or start Go shops, and then pick GCP over competitors because they have to start with something, and being Go people, Google stuff comes first to mind.

Lots of companies across lots of industries spend a lot of money to achieve more-less this fuzzy, delayed-action effect.
The ionosphere does weird things to GPS signals as it gets charged up. Delays change based on angle of incidence.

A key part of receiver accuracy is the ionosphere model. If you ignore ionospheric effects your position is likely to only be accurate within about a kilometer.
I also disabled it. The feature got inspired by Visual Studio. It had this feature for ages and it is working fine there, well integrated with the code. The annotations only look clunky in JetBrains' products because they are the same size as the editor font, taking up way too much space.

VS uses a font about 2 sizes smaller and decreases the line height, too, resulting in a smoother experience.
Also in Minnesota! (I'm joshing you Minnesotans, it's a lovely state full of wonderful people. I'll borrow you whatever you need any time. ;-p )
Huh, when did they change that?

When I took it, it was still $250. The course was free and you paid to take a cert test at a testing center. The following year they made the whole thing online and free.
Fun fact. The soviets and now Russians have a big hand in promoting this misinformation.

Well, if you like classical music ... there are some organ concertos.

I'm pretty sure Google's AI has already reached the information theoretic limits for recognizing fire hydrants etc. so you're not really training it anymore

What bothers me about recaptcha (other than the obvious first order task) is that I believe it's used to penalize people who don't let google track them, and by extension to make other browsers look worse. It's an abuse of their market power.
Ask HN: How do I transition to Management?
So I've been a long time lurker on HN for a few years now. I'm well aware that this is basically the opposite issue of every other HN post of a dev who wants to avoid it.

I'm a Midwest .NET dev (near Chicago) doing simple CRUD apps at a company here for about 3 years now. This is my first job out of college. I went back to school later in life (I'm in my late 20's) so I'm not exactly green when it comes to corporate politics.

During the time before getting my CS degree, I was scrounging to stay afloat taking whatever jobs I could. I had to develop many people skills that I often feel like are very lacking among IT individuals. I often get comments where people say "You're not like regular IT folks" or something along those lines since I'm pretty social and have tons of non-computer related hobbies. That being said, I often feel like I'm not like most developers because of it. So it's hard for me to identify with people who spend all their free time coding for FOSS or making videogames after work.

Knowing this, I really do feel like I'd much rather be in management. I love having long meetings, chatting with people, making decisions on what should be done, don't mind taking over where other people messed up, setting directives, etc. If I'm coding constantly, I'm just not happy. There is nothing personal about programming and it's not as exciting as dealing with people issues.

In my current position, it is very much a very traditional slow moving org with a ton of dead weight. So it's not a hard job. But with that, it means people don't leave as easily unless they're pushed out the door. So it's difficult to get a management position unless you stay long enough.

I am currently getting a MA in Business (not an MBA, but it's really cheap and easy state school). I know that doesn't do much, but I figured it was a start. Is there anything I can or should be doing? Routes I should take? Risks even? I just don't see myself as a developer, just someone who figured out how to get my foot in the door by doing development work.
Yep, I've been advocating zstd since I started working in the field. It compresses and decompresses so much faster than xz and is much much more compact than gzip.
All public SARS-CoV-2 consensus sequences are ~300GB uncompressed. If you compress using gzip you end up with ~30GB. With xz/zstd you can get it down to ~2GB. However xz takes ~40min to uncompress, whereas zstd can do it in ~8min.

I wonder how a name like that even passed Apple's filters.
Yeah, it really does seem like you can bodge something like this together with reasonable fidelity out of off the shelf stuff, starting with 3-4 synthesizer keyboards and a few pedals. Of course, that's no small expense right there already, and I'm sure this is one of those things that can get arbitrarily expensive as well, depending on that level of fidelity you're after.
hcaptcha started out nice, but it quickly got way worse. Maybe more privacy, but it wants me to solve so many dumb puzzles, while Google is usually happy with only one.

If captchas weren’t a rare-ish occurrence for me, I’d buy a nopeCha subscription to solve that shit for me.
If a friend can't pay you back for legitimate reasons, which I admit are subjective, you shouldn't let it affect your friendship.

If it does it says more about you than the friend
> Only 1 person ever died of radiation in Fukushima.

While I tend to agree with your point, there's also the couple hundred square miles and 165k people worth of exclusion zone as a side-effect. That's not small, but it's potentially something you can mitigate by picking sites carefully.
On the other hand, now everyone thinks you're an easy target to borrow money from, and they won't have to pay you back.

> Defibrillators wouldn't be chock full of capacitors if that wasn't the case

Disrupting the heart's rhythm is way easier than restoring it. Especially if the disrupting current got in through punctured skin (which the defibrillator is not allowed to do)

> a couple amps from arm to arm

This is very bad advice. A couple amps at 220VAC is devastating if actually delivered inside your body. The reason people routinely survive mains shocks is the current doesn't actually get through due to intact dry skin, pure (poorly conducting) water, no path across their body, or no path to ground, which is all a matter of luck.
True, I guess my motivation is to break free of the crabs in the bucket that would bleed me of the success I’ve managed to acquire.

If one came from a different environment, material concerns might not be as pressing, and it might be a better strategy to placate said crabs in order to not lose one’s social standing.
Extraordinary claims do. Ordinary claims only require ordinary evidence.
The downside of a lot of those "password" save systems was that you lost your lives, and sometimes more. The password sometimes just wasn't long enough to store enough information. For example, Driver[0] (at least on the Game Boy) is an icon-based one with eight(?) symbols per field and four fields. That's only 12 bits.

Could you explain the connection between these two statements?
After running the gamut of bullshit fancy coffee makers, this is where I've landed as well. Dead simple, easy to clean, and fast.
I don't see a way around that - Organs are inherently rare because of their size, cost, locations and maintenance requirements.

Unless someone finds a way of scaling up production and/or reducing the cost, you're not gonna see organs popping up everywhere, hence limited access.
> No one is stopping you or any other secular organization from building your own organs. It seems weird to complain that churches were the only organizations willing to spend the money to build and maintain organs. If anything, you should be grateful they invested the resources in the first place. Without these churches, is it not possible the organ would be virtually extinct at this point?

I think its reasonable to be both happy these things exist at all, and are available to some for free rather than in extremely expensive private collections, while also lamenting the long history of exclusionary practices of the places these things exist.

We can easily take this to an extreme as an analogy where it would seem more reasonable to you to hear the complaint.

The world isn't perfect, and as strong as the desire is to reduce things to a "good" or a "bad" the real world comes with confusing good and bad points that we don't have to average out into a final score.
This is a great point, but also depends on what browsers you want to support. In my experience some browsers a) will truncate the url when you try to copy it from the browser bar (safari), and b) will not support any url including the hash past a certain cut off (like the SO comment states).
This is really interesting. Can you share a bit more about specifically how the marine achieves this? What do they say/do that achieves this outcome?
Thanks!
Years ago, I had the crazy/stupid opportunity to start a night club in San Francisco. My dad said it would be a terrible idea, the business was hard, etc... but he also said he would help me out. Go dad, I'm lucky to have him. He had a piece of property that we could get a loan against, so we found a mortgage company that would give us the loan and went ahead.

Well, he was totally right, after years of trying, the business totally flopped and I had lost all of the money, as well as a ton of my own. It set my finances back at least a decade or more. Luckily, my dad has a lifelong friend who was willing to buy out the loan when it looked like the company was going to default, so now my debt was really to my dads friend.

Fast forward many years... my dad has retired and needs money. He's had trouble selling the property (although it looks like that is happening now in the next month or two). The property gained a lot of value over the years, so that is good. He will have enough to pay back the friend in full and a bunch left over for himself.

I've been paying my dad back as I can over the years and in recent times, reached the principle amount of the loan... now I'm paying the interest (the principle has ballooned more than 2x).

My current payments have been a lifesaver for him. It worked out that being able to pay him back now when he needs money the most, has been really helpful for him. Had I paid him back in full earlier, it might have been harder for him to come to me asking for a loan, now he has some steady cash flow from me. When the property sells, his friend will get paid back first and I'll just owe my dad the rest of the interest.

This has weighed on me for a long time and is something that I think about almost daily. It sucks owing money. I have no other debt than this. Some day, I'll be free of it and I can't wait for that day.
Not poster, but chia seeds, ground flax meal, unsweetened coconut and cocoa powder are super high fiber sources that are low in net carbs.

If I had more energy and time I would try to set my computer so that I could perform most of anything with keyboard only.

My wrists are the reason.

More than 10 years ago they started to hurt, so I became a left handed mouse user at work. A couple of years ago I started using a vertical mouse. If I could leave them in a mostly static position I would.

There's the added fact that I'm much faster with keyboard only and I can perform the actions without effort once I have them ingrained. Mouse is slower and even when you know where to go it needs more of your brain.

Having said this I'm perfectly ok with people preferring mouse, I'm just starting the reasons for my preferences. Not that they matter, I'm not using JetBrains.
That's how they'd like it to work.

That is not how it works, at least at the moment.
Terminator 2 is my fav film for weeding out pretend-wanna-be-film snobs. I've had this conversation more times than I'd like:

Me: Terminator 2 was a great movie

Fake film snob: Terminator 2?! A shoot-em-up movie?! What?!

Me: Yah, it isn't what James Cameron is most known for, but still good

Fake film snob: Wait .... James Cameron???

Me: Yup, he even got five Oscars for it. Obviously not best picture or best actor/ess, but still

Fake film snob: five Oscars?!

I recall this technique being used in 1999. It doesn't work well with caching proxies which key off the URL, using a Cookie header is cleaner and simpler.

Yeah, that part doesn't actually work at the moment. Capita haven't received a big enough bung.
Glad to see zstd getting some love here. At a previous job I needed to capture and store large amounts of JSON about social media. I did an extensive compression bake-off taking into account both compression and storage costs, and for us the winner was zstd with the compression dial turned up a fair bit. (Sorry I don't have numbers here, but they're all in the hands of the previous employer. But I think we settled on -13 as cost-optimal if we were storing data on AWS for a year.)
If by "toilet" you mean "a seat with a hole in it" then, yeah, sure, toilets "still operate almost exactly the same".

The way they collect and dispose of the waste has changed dramatically over time. And even in modern day, there's a huge range of toilets out there in the world: from basic outhouses and primitive developed toilets, to portable toilets, to composting toilets, to squat toilets. All of which operate in slightly different ways. Many might have bidets, seat warmers, deodorizers, etc included. Some bidets might be in the form of an integrated nozzle, or a hose, or a separate bowl.

There's a lot of variations in toilets, most of which improve on a basic idea. But they all still are improvements or changes, the equivalent of UX changes discussed here.
