I'm in my mid-30s and definitely can relate to much of what this article talks about. For me this "crisis" started in my mid 20s, although I really can't relate to it as a "crisis" but more of an "awareness".

Around the age of 25/26 I was working as a software developer in SF and having the time of my life. Parties, dating, living in the city, spending all my money on rent.

Then I started slowly but surely to become aware of my age, and the fact that I needed to find a partner. I worried that if I didn't start to think about finding a partner, I might not find one in time and could end up old and alone. So I made a series of rather large decisions to be more (productively) social, and look for a partner. I did that, and got married. Bought a house. Leaned into my career.

Nearly a decade later now in my mid 30s I'm doing pretty good financially and am in a happy marriage of 8 years. But I am left with a feeling of "what else?"

For reasons that are my own, I choose not to have kids. Maybe that's the end of the story there, maybe you can attribute all of this feeling of "what else" to the fact that I'm not procreating and don't have children to pour my extra focus/worry/attention into.

I think that's a weak excuse though, and the real answer is more difficult to understand. I look back on my childhood as a magical, interesting time and modern adult life by comparison is rather dull. Sure you can do things to spice it up, but mostly its the same thing day in and day out. I'm trying my best to make peace with this and enjoy the routine, and have had some success, but definitely can't shake this depressed feeling of "is this it?"

Climbing the career latter is fun, traveling is fun, etc. etc. but none of it compares to that magic of childhood and the excitement for things.
I'd call them every day just to chat.

I totally believe that a lot of startups are misusing the Amazon example. I also believe many of those startups will be royally screwed now that an era of easy money is ending. And personally, I'll be popping plenty of popcorn when they get their comeuppance.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to uncritically accept your claim that "Amazon was never profitable because they prioritized growth is a meme". Because it was basically true for a very long time. It was something many Amazon investors complained about long and loud because they wanted the cash, not future growth potential that they were skeptical of.
From reading the abstract, isn't this just exploiting the same class of security vulnerabilities that the OP is lamenting are being fixed?

Youtube takedowns aren't DMCA requests. There is no legal penalty for perjury. It's just a good old fashioned mob shakedown. In this case neither party is even subject to US law so even more irrelevant.
It is pretty simple though. Top end campy isn't wireless.
When humans communicate. We don't talk about exceptions where you deliberately choose to operate outside of the norm. If you deliberately choose to drive a car without a seat belt knowing this risk. This is fine.

You want to sky dive while deliberately choosing not to use a parachute? That's fine. But don't expect me to adjust my communication to account for your exception. You chose to do this.

But let's not pretend that you don't know about this fact in human communication. It's an obvious thing you know. Yet you chose to characterize your post in a way that negatively makes my statement look unreasonable and your actions look normal. Please don't do this. If you choose to sky dive without a parachute, that's fine, but admit you are operating with risk for the sake of cost. Do not try mischaracterize my intentions, that is just rude.
Thanks! And welcome to the CAD-Sketcher users community :) I hope you will continue to stay with us :)
You're talking about a different scenario. I'm talking about continuous inflow and outflow. Where outflow is processing (fixed rate) and inflow is traffic (variable). This is the classic assumption. In this state the space used in the queue is an indicator of mismatched consumption and production velocities.

You're talking about a single batch job that runs once a day and empties the queue at the same rate no matter how much data is in the queue. Thus the more data you grab in batch the more efficient the processing so you grab data once per day instead of continuosly. This is a clear exception from the assumed norm that needs to be mentioned.

That is not to say that your case is invalid. Many analytic databases possess your ingestion parameters. But the case is exceptional enough that if not explicitly mentioned it can be assumed that such a batch job is not a primitive in the model being discussed.
Both are beaten by matrix now.

Silicon Valley arose from defense spending.

The integrate large enterprise software systems piece doesn’t jive since there are many enterprise providers in Europe. In Germany there is SAP for example.

The trope that all the innovation comes from Silicon Valley is starting to wear thin.
Paul, it’s a bad article. Your arguments don’t make sense and are mostly strawmen. If you want to improve it, show it to someone in real life and have them talk over it with you. You’ll probably get a lot farther than a few sentences of feedback over the internet. But it’s really bad.
Its pretty gross that tech people look up to this company and its founder. We should be doing everything we can to bring them down. This company led by a man who regrets that women got the vote and that apartheid ended in south africa and runs a company that helps governments spy on citizens. He also helped trumps insurrection attempt while readying himself to bail out to new zealand in case whatever sick experiment he had in mind didn’t work out to his advantage. nevermind if the rest of us plebs die.
You made a few unforced errors that move it away from the quietly authoritative, mirror-sheen AI voice.

The colon in line 1 is clunky, the combination of "but" and "with" in line 2 reads as passive, and line 3 is full person.

that’s strange. every EU-related thread I’ve ever seen has had highly ranked comments poo-pooing whatever it is they’re planning to do.

By that logic, you would see very little variety in types of components used by world your teams. Teams are in the business of making money, if SRAM offers them a better deal, team owners will find it hard to say no.
> providing orders of magnitude more value

That’s the reason you keep hearing the argument: proof-of-work blockchain technology has not yet demonstrated that it provides “orders of magnitude more value.”
Because those skills require actual experience and domain-expertice. You can't factory print MBAs that actually give you skills, but you can create the illusion of value by teaching something, so they throw out a bunch of random econ and ways to control employees and everything gets a little bit worse everytime someone graduates
Lambdas now work with Docker
The same way a heavy weight olympic judoka could literally kill you by throwing you full force on the mat.

I trained months in Thailand, and the instructors (pros or ex-pros) were always sparring ultra light as they didn't want to get injured before their matches, and also because it's a better way to improve. In the West, some (rare) guys tend to have a bigger ego and may actually get some pride to harm beginners in sparring which is a bit ridiculous. A healthy gym will typically discourage such behaviors.

Coming back to my initial point, I feel it's easier to spar lightly in boxing than in judo.
this is straight up false.
> I think you are asking me a very emotionally charged and complex question, that I can't really answer over the internet.

The internet is the only place I can ask this question. I can't ask this to my gf or friends. Anyway thank you for your answer.

> When men say they want a "gamer"/"nerd"/"etc, I assume they also mean "x" and cute.

Yeah, your answer is satisfactory, I'll just touch briefly on this topic. There are differences in what you're referring to here. Male attraction is truly uni-dimensional. A woman who has a nice average personality and works at the grocery store as a clerk but is very attractive and cute is infinitely better than a high paid female lawyer who is also a gamer/nerd/etc and has a great personality but is only average looking at best. The key here is physical attraction, that is the only dimension where the grocery store clerk beats the lawyer and really the only dimension that matters to a man. I do not believe women share the same overtly narrow preference.

So when a woman says she wants a sensitive man, I think she does place some importance in it, more so then a man would when he says he wants a "gamer" girl.

I suspect some of the confusion arises from the fact that even though women are more multi-dimensional in their attraction preferences then men it does not mean they place less emphasis on physical attraction. No, women are so selective that many women often set a bar higher then men for physical attractiveness despite the more multi-dimensional nature of their attraction pallet.

This is also an aspect of what I'm talking about. The scenario with the grocery store clerk is obvious to men, but I've often encountered women who simply don't get it. The concept was so foreign that they attempted to dispute with me what is in general just completely obvious to most men. Meanwhile, men more or less completely understand the complexity of female attraction preferences. Men all know about height, success, confidence and looks and how those are important to women and we're very clear about how these are different from what men want.

It's one of the things my mentor was referring to when he said that men understand women better then women understand men.
What we are currently doing by using links is essentially saying “go to the library, 4th floor, 10th shelf, 5th book from the left” when sending a link. What we should be doing is saying “go to the library and the find the Lord of the Rings book”
How is npm any saner?

Last week I've had one colleague complain about his brokem npm install. He had to manually install each module and it's exact version.

A month before that, we had one broken old nodejs project which couldn't update itself cleanly.
Is that a thing? What services do you need to buy to bypass recaptcha?
why doesn't rails have a local-first equivalent? it's something i'd love to see, as many apps can benefit.

back in the day, we built a real-time sports stats app on top of rails and firebase (before it was gobbled up by google) that provided some affordances in that regard, but truly offline first--saving locally, then syncing when online--would be a great rails use case.
While docker's port exposure should be more explicit, he should also mention that he used docker without reading the parts of the doc he neeeded to, blindly trusting some dangerous half-knowledge from a forum or other persons.

If he'd bind the host port to localhost or put caddy in a container in the same vlan, it wouldn't have happened. From the blogpost I'm not even sure if he's aware of the binding option.

If you argue that a software shouldn't behave this way after being configured so explicitly, Archlinux not preconfiguring iptables to limit exposure like Debian or Ubuntu is worse, because it happens implicitly.
It's not more annoying than a skippable YouTube pre-roll ad (which is sometimes directly encoded into the video feed by the streamer).

From an advertiser perspective, of course it works if you have a product to sell to the audience visiting the website (a mobile game, etc...).

A popunder is really no different from YouTube ads, except the advertisement doesn't cover the page content nor blocks it.

Some of the networks are even so confident that they will bring you new revenues and make you profitable that they will take the financial risk on their side (you just give the product and agree on a revenue-share and they pay all the traffic acquisition from their pocket).

Not even AdWords offers that (you take all the risk, and when you are down 100K USD, Google just says "hey, too bad, but thank you for the money, if you want you can put 500K again to make a test")
I've long had the idea -- what if domain names were designed to resolve per year (or even date)?

In other words, if you type something like gu.com[2002]/rest/of/url then it should continue to resolve whatever IP address is chosen by the person who owned it in 2002. (And the IP can be updated by that owner for the rest of time.)

For end users it wouldn't matter -- putting gu.com into the browser bar always resolves to whoever owns it today.

But anytime you embedded a link into a webpage, best practice would be to append today's year (or date) to the domain in the URL. Or if you added a meta tag to the page for when the page's content was created, all links therein would default to pointing to each domain on that date.

This way, change of ownership of domain would never affect existing links.

Obviously it doesn't solve all the problems -- the historical owner still has to be maintaining the site and serving the content. But as domain names get repurposed for rebranding and financial reasons, it means existing links could still work. Especially if we think we'll be continuing to use domain names for generations more.
No. As I mentioned, leaving your feelings about him personally aside, he is challenging the model for social media and now having the approach cloned by the market leader.

I hated the moderations/censorship on these platforms and I dislike the adtech/tracking business model so he has my support on both of those angles.

Meta also appear to be bundling in customer support which is probably my third objection to big tech. So I’ll thank Elon for that one too.

I think pretty much everyone would call that URL shortening though.
It's still a thing. A lot of people in Croatia still buy specific food products in supermarkets like Lidl and Muller because they carry the same products as in Germany or Austria. So of much better quality of course.

The price at the time is generaly considerably higher than in neighbouring countries because VAT is just a part of the general taxation scheme. Whatever taxes companies get saddled with just get transferred to the general population via prices on the stuff they sell. And taxation in Croatia is crazy high unfortunately for everyone.
The fact that ufw doesn't play well with iptables sounds like a good reason not to use it.

(Yes yes I know iptables is antiquated but they should still be compatible with each other at the kernel level)
UK experience. My first job also had some unfair time requirements. They finished at 1PM on Fridays. If anyone was late by even a minute on any of the other days they would be expected to work until 3PM. Except for managers who could be very late and not need to stay at all.

Especially annoying as more than once I got a desk phone call from my manager (harassing me about whatever latest poorly defined task he expected me to create) from his home meanwhile the idea of me, the only person in the office who had to travel two hours both ways every day, was laughable to them.

I too should have left it sooner.
I would love for there to be a Mac equivalent of Notepad++ (i.e. Scintilla). I miss that editor every day. The Mac world has many advantages, but in terms of text editors all your options are either:

1. Electron-based, and take forever to launch (even if they are "fast for an Electron app").

2. Little to no plugin ecosystem whatever. No Vim mode, etc (yes there's Vim itself, but that's not a great choice for a GUI window editor).

3. Commercial, and costs nearly as much as a full-blown IDE.

Notepad++ was (is) pretty much perfect. Sadly, its default look-and-feel is "light mode" and "Courier New", rather than dark mode and Menlo/Consolas, so I don't think it even exists for the newer crowd.
I've been really happy with CouchDB + PouchDB at https://financier.io

You can do unique things like offer a trial period without syncing (database wholly in browser), which allows for ridiculously quick onboarding. And then when the user signs up for a paid plan, you just hook up CouchDB and the data syncs right on over.

The sync mechanism works so damn well. It's really cool how easy it is to implement a Google Docs-like sync mechanism with conflict resolution baked in.
>Mississippians wouldn't tolerate being fed with worse cheese than Newyorkers only because their different economic power.

And yet, it's the case ? Sure, you can find the same products if you go looking, but the average food quality between those two states will be wildly different. And that's without taking into account that the average food quality in the US is awful.
It's not a typo. https://wordhistories.net/2017/06/05/origin-of-grauniad/
I can also note that I didn't find any supported way to prevent that from happening. So it's one thing to find out that docker edit firewall rules. It's another thing to build a proper set of firewall rules which will prevent incoming connections.

I came up with some rules including DOCKER-USER chain but I'd qualify them as hack relying on undocumented configuration. And I just have no idea how to configure firewalld because it puts another layer of complexity on top of iptables.
you can find numbers easily, here's an article from the other week: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/owed-employers-face-little-acco...

>According to one estimate from the nonprofit think tank Economic Policy Institute, reported and unreported wage theft could amount to as much as $50 billion per year owed to workers.
>
>That number dwarfs criminal offenses such as robbery, which accounted for just under $500 million in losses in 2019, according to FBI data. Burglary accounted for about $3 billion in losses that same year, and motor vehicle theft made up about $6 billion.

is time theft a $50 billion problem?

"deep trouble"

In 'deep trouble' with 2 billion daily active users on each platform: Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, resulting in the stock doubling in less than 3 months of screaming about the chorus of the end of times for Meta.

Hell yes. These last two weeks have been like how I imagine drug withdrawals would feel. In fact, I'm mildly annoyed that this is an announcement of an announcement, since it's not actually back on Twitch until tomorrow.

I've really missed having this playing in the background. Not only was it unintentionally hilarious, but I actually started identifying with the microwave. It beeps loudly whenever it gets used.

I hope these new safety rails don't lobotomize it, like virtually every other AI project. But if it does, it's understandable, since the ultimate goal is to appease the Twitch cartel^Wmods.
I didn't even think the joke was particularly transphobic. Jerry Seinfeld's AI simulacrum was the butt a joke about how bad stand up comedians make lazy and mean jokes about groups like liberals, trans people, and gay men (for whatever reason this article only mentions one of those groups)

Linux approach delegates security to the system administrator. Hence Linux provides containers, SELinux etc. focusing on securing the existing binaries.

OpenBSD assumes it is the programmer who is responsible for delivering secure code. Hence it provides the tools that require to modify the sources.

One can argue for one or another approach, but both at the end deliver similar reduction of the attack surface.

With what money? For this to work the way you want, the company would have to be trading at lower than the book value of its assets, in which case you might as well liquidate it. If you get the money from debt, now you have to focus on servicing the debt, which is probably worse than what the street wants (revenue growth).
