Yea, I have, and I wasn't impressed. Maybe there's better ones.

Most induction "burners" I've used seem to modulate power by pulsing, i.e. being all-on for a time and then turning all-off, instead of a constant, low heat. I almost ruined a thin pan with this, because the instant-on all-power instantly overheated the very thin metal floor and everything in it was instantly burned to the metal. Probably not a problem with a thicker pan that has e.g. a steel or aluminum core. Still, I've yet to see a great induction stove.

Induction stoves also tend to scratch like hell, whereas gas stoves have that rustic iron on them that gets better looking the more use it sees.

Great question! I wrote a new userspace network proxy/stack in Go, similar to Docker's VPNKit and built it with performance in mind at all levels.

What makes it fast is support for modern NIC features that improve performance significantly, similar to those supported by Apple's in-kernel NAT (vmnet) but implemented in userspace. I've made changes to the guest kernel to implement these while working around limitations in Apple's Virtualization.framework. I'm not actually sure why it's slightly faster than vmnet in the host-to-guest direction (30 vs. 25 Gbps), but I'll take it.

Some snapshots of my journey working on the network stack:

Docker-OSX: Run macOS VM in a Docker
I didn't hide my criticism – the main issue with your answer was that there is no reason to think what you mentioned was a real or relevant problem! My first reply was to say this. I responded to your claim and explained why it didn't seem like a good answer.
I worked as a VP in a company that tracked everyone in 10-minute intervals. Just having this tracking led to some managers inhumanely squeezing devs and almost all devs ended up burned out after a few years. They went to great lengths to reject any time slots where devs showed insufficient intensity on their keyboard/mouse or if they spotted anything non-work-related on dev desktop screenshots. However, when it came to manipulating metrics to look good (even down to a fraud where they lowered metrics of their devs they didn't like), it was all fine. This culture was enforced by the CEO/COO so there was not much I could do about it outside shielding my people and then leaving when my bosses went even more insane.
Contractors are generally paid to solve a problem, and you'll be hard pressed to find an employer that believes tchnical.debt is worth paying boat loads of money for. If this is your angle of interest, I'd look into "legacy modernization", which works in a lot of the same ways as code refactoring with the big difference that you generally also need to shift programming languages and computing platforms . I did a gig 10 years ago and learned enough Cobol to be competent but most of the work was learning the business domain, format shift code, refactor over and over.
There are many interesting result that fly under the radar. If you don't want to count big things like LIGO, my favorite to talk about is magnetoresitance, IIRC the giant one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_magnetoresistance [It's not my specialization, so I may have a few details wrong.]

You can explain it to a technical friend.

Start explaining about the the two possible spin of electrons, and how it cause the existence of two currents inside a conductor. This is not important in a normal conductor like cooper, but it's important inside a magnetic conductor like iron. So yo get a different resistance for each one of the two currents, the one that has a spin that is in the same direction than the magnetic field and the other with the oposite spin.

You can make a sandwich of iron-cooper-iron. If there is no external magnetic field, the two iron parts have oposite magnetization and the total resistance is higher. If there is an external magnetic field, the two iron parts have the same magnetization and the total resistance is lower. Anyway, the difference is not too much.

[Ideally, your fiend should be boring now, uninterested about the abstract currents no one cares about.]

It get's more interesting if you have many layers of iron and cooper, because the difference is higher and they call is "giant". It is used in the heads to read hard disks, like in the laptop of your friend. [Your friend will never see it coming!]

It's interesting because it mix weird abstract quantum properties and engineering to make it more efficient and you get a device that everyone has. For some weird reason, no one talks about it. And the sad part is that SSD are killing the punch line of the story :( .

Relatable. I keep a large number of subfolders, perhaps 150 for maybe 10k documents/datasets, and use them consistently. With accumulation, the inadequacy of your filing system will be overtaken by the utility of your clustering. It helps that I have a very good memory and can typically recall the title or content of a paper I might have read several years ago to look it up again in a few minutes. 90% of the content goes into 10% of the solders, when one gets too unmanageable I start to split it but accept that the higher level folder will remain a pile to some extent.

Ironically, D&D's spin on Rule Zero, which is what you essentially describe in practice, isn't in any first-party SRD even though it's been arguably the foundational D&D rule as written in every published edition.[1]

It is, however, an OGL-covered rule in Pathfinder:[2]

> The rules presented are here to help you breathe life into your characters and the world they explore. While they are designed to make your game easy and exciting, you might find that some of them do not suit the style of play that your gaming group enjoys. Remember that these rules are yours. You can change them to fit your needs. Most Game Masters have a number of "house rules" that they use in their games. The Game Master and players should always discuss any rules changes to make sure that everyone understands how the game will be played. Although the Game Master is the final arbiter of the rules, the Pathfinder RPG is a shared experience, and all of the players should contribute their thoughts when the rules are in doubt.

Pi-hole: Network-wide ad blocking
I'm still wondering if this will be enough to pay back the 10x on $430 mio in funding that their investors expect...

$135 mio in revenue is great, but they need 4.3 billion in profits.
Yeah. The whole system is crazy.

"The Budget" as proposed by the President every year (at a cost of millions) is often ignored pretty much entirely. Congress only sometimes passes their own budget (technically called a budget resolution), since that resolution only impacts certain procedures, and is not technically required.

Instead what matters are authorizations and appropriations (and backdoor appropriations).

Authorizations are occasionally passed, and set a cap on how much the government can spend on any area.

Appropriations are passed yearly and tell the government how much they to spend in each area, which cannot be greater than the authorized amount.

If something is authorized but congress forgets to appropriate money for it, it is usually still spent in practice either from general appropriations of the organization, or if not applicable, by pretending there was an appropriation of the correct amount. Similarly, if something is appropriated but congress never authorized it, the money will still be spent.

Appropriations are generally viewed as required spending. The executive cannot just choose to only spend half the amount appropriated for building tanks (that the Army does not want anyway!). Thus congress largely controls both much gets spent. They also largely control the amount of income the government makes, by controlling taxes. As spending basically always outpaces income, the rest gets made up via debt, largely by selling treasury bonds.

Yet Congress sets an needless artificial cap on this.

And I mentioned "backdoor appropriations". Occasionally congress accidentally writes a law in a way such that it mandates that the federal government pay something in certain situations. If they do so, then the government must spend that money, appropriated or not, as to not pay would violate the law.

Plus congress has created some really complex rules about how much the government can spend that makes their jobs much harder. Much of this is in the name of nominally "balancing the budget", despite the fact that expenditures always outpace income, so obviously the various loopholes in those rules are being constantly exploited.

Congress could drastically simplify the whole thing by getting rid of the numeric part of the authorization concept, getting rid of budget resolutions, getting rid of debt ceiling, and getting rid of a bunch of dumb rules that add needless complications. But they don't, so we have this complicated mess instead.

What I vastly prefer is the 500-ish size. You can realistically at least know of every other developer (and find those you prefer working with and can learn with), there's more resources than just a 30 person company, and you're just not a tiny insignificant cog in the machine at a 100k mega corp.

Counter-point: most of the value is "a repository of images" and that's just hard sell to pay massive extra (over just "a local VM with some code running" or some of the cloud offerings) for a essentially S3-like file storage with slightly different API and some structure.

Yeah tools and common container format is why it got popular but with amount of alternatives that's not monetizable either.

Docker desktop is a smart move honestly, monetize stuff around the containers (managing, making sure its secure) that generally requires a lot of knowledge without it, so the pitch is not just "make the job easier" but "maybe allow company to skip hiring person(s) dedicated to running the whole house of cards"
Terrific idea.

As you note browsers are already a capable platform, so a compact compatibility layer is good way to add support for linux binaries. ABI virtualization really deserves to be more popular as an alternative or complement to containers and VMs. Perhaps it hasn't caught on (besides Proton/WINE) because there isn't a semi-standard format/platform like docker or virtualbox.

Haven't multiple people on HN built simple direct GUI libraries that work natively and on wasm? It would be cool for apps and game binaries with (sound, graphics, networking, controller support...) to be portable across linux and web (and probably windows, macos, android, etc.) with a compact compatibility layer.

Yup I refuse to even log into personal accounts on my work computer. I've never had any issues with companies prying into my life that I'm aware of but I don't even want them to have the avenue. I even keep my work laptop on a separate vlan because I'm paranoid, and my network setup made it trivial.
In addition, it seems prudent to make your own time log to deal with the possibility that any time tracking surveillance agents are mistaken.

If this woman's claims do have any merit, I wouldn't be surprised if it's due to something like having some entertainment playing while working, and the software wrongly attributing that as not working when it's actually solid work time.
I was SA'd by the VP of HR at a previous company. I asked around, and apparently there is no one that can report that to except for HR, so in several companies HR can do anything they want.
I strongly suggest anyone doubtful of the reasoning behind these concerns or asking questions like "well why don't we just do x to solve this?" go check out Robert Miles' YouTube channel[1].

It's quite an approachable intro, often entertaining, doesn't take a long time to get through all the core videos, and very thoroughly answers all the "why not just do x" questions if you go through the whole set.

He also does a good job of introducing a lot of the terms used in the field if you then want to go look up papers and get more into the details.

One important point he makes is that when you're making a risk assessment you have to both consider the probability of something going wrong and the scope of the potential consequences. When the potential consequences are an existential threat you don't need a high probability to take them seriously.

I also happen to think that if you watch all the material he makes a compelling argument that the odds of something going wrong are fairly high unless we start approaching AI research (and particularly safety and ethical concerns) drastically differently than we are now.

Licenses are PITA to deal with regardless of how much you're being paid.

Especially on servers, and especially if for some stupid reason licensed software need internet access to confirm it is licensed, coz that's extra crap that needs to be added on proxy or firewalls and will inevitably break when they change something.

If it's "hey, pay us X and we trust you don't cheat us" yeah, it's just extra invoice ,whatever.
I'm just using external dependency as an example.

> Within your company you don't want every team to have to operate as a Library Vendor

But you want some teams to operate this way. And the best way to do it is by drawing boundaries at the repo level.

This is similar to monolith-services debate. Once monolith gets big enough there's benefit in breaking it down a bit. Technically nothing prevents you from keeping it modular. Except that humans just really suck at it.

> take advantage of the command economy you operate in to drive changes across the company rapidly

Driving changes across the company is a self-serving middle-manager goal. There's a reason why central planning fails at scale every single time it is attempted.

> Teams getting out of sync with the latest versions of dependencies is a Really Bad Thing

It definitely can be a bad thing. But you know what's even worse? Not having the option to get out of sync. If getting out if sync is a problem, polyrepo offers simple tooling to address it.
A simple feedback on dates "it went well / it didn't go well" would be immensely helpful and legally prudent.

That's a great question! Initially, MagnaPlay's entire idea was building a smaller portfolio (~50-100 titles) compared to our competitors; we'd be focused on quality over quantity -- essentially becoming the place to play the best indies. We would do that by collecting player engagement data, serializing reviews, and flat-out asking for which games our audience wanted to see on our platform. While we still haven't changed that strategy in the short term, we see ourselves adding more and more titles with time and eventually allowing MagnaPlay's community do all the curation instead of relying on more abstract agents like the team's preferences :)

So, picture this: if you like puzzle games, for instance, you would essentially be put in the "Librarian" role/house (much like how Hogwarts would put you in Gryffindor if you're brave). All so you can see fewer and fewer titles that aren't worth your time!
I highly recommend learning Next.js as a way to learn React – it is built on top of React and focuses on some of the most important hooks (useState, useEffect) while also giving you functions for server-side rendering that help make sure your app is performant from the get-go.

That's actually how I learned React myself :)

> Also most images like python have alpine variants now which is really nice.

You probably don’t want to use Alpine for Python containers. Many packages don’t provide wheels for Alpine (the Python version of prebuilt binaries), so you’ll have to build them from source, countering the space savings.

You’re often better just using something like Debian-slim or something.
