I'm quoting bulk transfer, with 1500 MTU. I could run jumbo packets for my internal network test and probably get better numbers, but jumbo packets are hard. When I was quoting https download on public internet, that pretty much means MTU 1500 as well, but was definitely the case.

If you're sending smaller packets, sure, that's harder. I guess that's a big deal if you're a DNS server, or voip (audio only); but if you're doing any sort of bulk transfer, you're getting large enough packets.

> Intel would also not have gone through the effort to develop DPDK if all you had to do to achieve linerate performance would be to enable interrupt moderation.

DPDK has uses, sure. But you don't need it for 10G on decent hardware, which includes 7 year old server chips, if you're just doing bulk transfer.
> a safe asset with thin liquidity and $2 billion of cash injections from binance and bitfinex

Safe asset is in part a statistical designation: it holds value or goes up in times of financial stress [1][2]. Crypto did that in the last weeks.

There is a second component of money-like stability that crypto does not meet. But it's interesting to see crypto rise while bank stability falters when, previously, Bitcoin was correlated with the S&P 500.

In what way? This sounds like pretty good advice, but I'm not sure how to practically apply it.
Makes it worse in the short-term, but if you continue to steer boat off course the more drastic the course corrections will have to be later on.

If we are timid now, it will only require larger course corrections later if we want to get inflation under control. The longer we wait, the more inflation gets baked into expectations and pricing.

Yes, spreadsheets are definitely programming. I use spreadsheets to implement GUI applications for specific administrative/planning tasks, for example:

- At work I'm tasked with grouping 40 administrative areas into larger geographically cohesive groups so that each group is roughly 20 km² in total area. This can be done by hand, sure - and I could also implement a GUI in some web framework to help me do it - but a spreadsheet lets me quickly develop a special-purpose application with good-enough usability, and it's all in all faster and more intellectually satisfying than solving the original problem by hand with a calculator.

- For planning a 120-person dinner party I need to make a table plan, organizing the guests into a certain number of 8-person, 10-person and 12-person tables (constrained by the tables available at the venue). Sure, I could cut out 120 pieces of paper and write the guest names on them, or copy-and-paste names around in a plain text document, but again a spreadsheet lets me quickly count how many guests have been allocated to each table and whether the current allocation uses the correct number of each size of table.

I dont think that's a fair and direct comparison tbh. There's a lot of new industries now that people have diverged into and population growth has exploded which I hope for the sake of the planet and human kind is going to slow , at least until we're in a better position to manage bigger populations without killing the planet and other life.

I'll be happy if I'm wrong, but are you confident enough to bet that there won't be less need for general developers and engineers and not have a plan in case? Personally I would be looking at my options In case I needed to pivot and not waiting 5o find out.

That's true. We have been preparing for opening YT for a long time when we found out about the leak. We even joked inside that they couldn't even do it normally and we still have to open our part of the code ourselves :)

It's truly a hard work, because we were very tightly tied to the Yandex infrastructure and we had to learn how to deploy in k8s from scratch. Also you need a new brand and clean your documentation from irrelevant things... All this takes months.
> And now many states are planning to "fight inflation" by literally sending people "inflation relief checks."

You're out of touch with reality if you think people who need inflation relief are the ones driving inflation.
I'm not sure the distinction between those two thoughts are as clear as you think.

If money moves into it and the price tends to increase during inflationary times, then you would be rational to use it as a safe-haven, regardless of what other people are doing.
Not too long ago I was approached by a recruiter from Walmart for a role that was deeply technical in areas that I never would have imagined Walmart to be hiring for. So they seem to have some great teams doing interesting tech work.

Unfortunately they wanted on-site presence in a different state than where I live so couldn't go forward with it. Otherwise might well have taken it, to my surprise.

You can buy government bonds - very little risk involved in terms of price change, and your money is safe from a bank collapse then - that is, even if the bank fails, they just forward all your bonds to a different bank.

Also, if you're under the insurance limit, you're safe. If bank insurers fail because too many banks fail, then the currency won't be worth paper it's printed on anyway.
Are you saying don't worry, don't have a fallback plan, everything will be honky dory?
> In almost all cases the coldest part of the day is right around dawn.

Probably true, and yet the counterexamples are when the temperature forecast is particularly important when I'm choosing what to wear. Any simplification of the temperature forecast into daily lows and highs will fail certain use cases, so I think it's very reasonable to make the daily lows and highs as well- and simply-defined as possible and provide an hourly forecast so that people can also check for the potential edge cases.
Notice how the author puts "disagreeable" and "dominant" people in the same bucket as "manipulative" and "exploitative". That says a lot about his world view. Having leadership abilities and not being a yes-man is apparently in the realm of sociopathic behavior in his book.

Yes, the ex-friend who cuts in line because he believes nobody else matters is an asshole. But that's not remotely the same thing as being disagreeable.

You can be a genuinely kind person and still be a "jerk" when the situation calls for it. That's called having a spine. The nice-guys-vs-bad-boys dichotomy is a juvenile coping mechanism adopted by people who are afraid to assert themselves.

Things that may be asserted regarding “consciousness”:

Consciousness “decides” through constructive and destructive interference (not linear logic).

I assert vehemently that consciousness is the “inflection upon the substrate of existence.” Which means that it is the material universe which is the substantive capacity of consciousness, and living systems are animating this through biotechnology. Therefore all life is “consciousness” yet scale in complexity allows a “holographic” rendering of details (aside from composite wave fronts) the more neurons bound, the greater their shared resolution at a single point of “awareness.”

The tricky part is that consciousness simulates and virtualizes, thus any variation of expectation and anticipation may be found.

Consciousness “smooths” resolve, it does not immediately provide reliable results. It is our trial and error, and manageable error rate over time which allows us to survive at all.

By this line of consideration, a stupid quantum computer is closer to consciousness than a smart learning algorithm (intelligence == mitigates uncertainty; if it does not mitigate uncertainty, it is not intelligence).

Consciousness is not intelligence, consciousness co-opts intelligence as a tool for perpetuation.

Unfortunately, I think this is another indication of a lack of understanding by GitHub of how their OAuth/GitHub App systems are expected to function by end users.

I'm reminded of this incident [1] from a few months ago. Allegedly, a malicious actor abused GitHub's poorly designed OAuth permissions to obtain up to 500 stars from developers without their consent, all thanks to a "sign in with GitHub" button and a flawed consent screen that did not communicate what the victims were consenting to. Even worse, GitHub allegedly decided to suspend at least one victim's account.

We're left with a number of questions:

1. Why does GitHub give third-party apps permission to star repos when it is apparently against the terms of service to automate such an action?

2. Why does GitHub lump this permission in with public_repo, a scope that grants read and write access to all public repositories? [2]

3. Why does the consent UI for this scope display simply as

Repositories
Public repositories

and not even mention that this grants write access unless the user clicks on it? [3] (it also doesn't mention that it gives permission to star repos)

4. Why does GitHub punish victims with account suspension for being tricked into giving consent to malicious apps?

It is good that GitHub is taking some steps to improve account security, such as fine-grained personal access tokens and mandatory 2FA. But these improvements do not seem to be extending to the OAuth system. The GitHub App system, while better in that it has granular permissions, is also flawed with its mysterious "act on your behalf" consent UI. [4] [5]

In a historical retrospective on timesharing[1], Fernando Corbato (of Multics fame) mentioned that he considers VisiCalc (a predecessor of Excel) as a novel and important form of programming (he called it 'declarative').

[1] https://youtu.be/uZxfBbikNkU (it was somewhere in this video)

As time progresses we get more open-minded and close-minded simultaneously -- we're experimenting with new ways of programming and computing, but we've also internalized existing structures as innate/fundamental. Maybe Corbato was just thinking creatively, or maybe he was less corrupted by decades of normative standards about what "programming" means.

In my experience, Ansible is fantastic for provisioning a machine from bare Linux VM to running service.

OTOH it's quite slow when used for deployments. There's no way you would be getting 5 second deployments with it.

> What is the part of this product that you have an issue with?

What part of any of this effort improves either the gameplay of backers or the state of conservation?

There is no need in any edition of the game for another book of 100 monsters. I already have hundreds of CR <1 small birds and mammals, and similar numbers of herd animals and apex predators. Even with "reimagined powers" it takes about 30 seconds to throw an extra power on a monster even in extra crunchy editions of the game.

My major question with any gaming product is what fun does this bring to my gaming table? And I don't see any fun that it'll add, at least not to my game. Most of what I see is some decent swag and some indulgences someone could buy for their feelings of guilt at conspicuous consumption in the hobby.

I'm really looking forward to this. The fact is that there's no game engine (that I could find after hours of searching) that offers out-of-the-box multiplayer for skilled programmers who just want to make a game, and if Planimeter can deliver that _and_ have good documentation and a clear ramp-up path, it would appeal to a huge audience.
I feel like the author just breezed past the most important line his ex-friend said: “Mostly everyone just backs down, but if I think they’re going to kill me, yeah, I’ll probably let them go first.”

Ultimately these types of jerks only exist because they were lucky enough to be born into a society civilized enough to tolerate them but not yet advanced enough to do anything about them. Not much earlier in history you needed to behave this way you would need to have some sort of physical or social power to back this up. A person can get away with just cutting in line because we (rightfully so) abhor violence more than we do the breaking of minor social norms so the chance that someone will just bop them on the nose are extremely low, and as a civilization we still have a plethora of bigger issues to address than mild cases of jerkish behavior.

The way I see it, the fact the people can act feel like they can get away with acting like this is a sign that we are becoming more civilized. From here we either advance to eventually we reach the point were the police and the courts have nothing better to do than issue fines cutting in line without permission, or we regress and jerks need to live with the reality that anytime someone may decided to just shank them and pay the wergild.

> Inflation is not done.

Inflation is never going to be done without some kind of structural change to how we govern ourselves. It’s the only politically acceptable out to deal with massive over spending by the federal government. There’s no political will to raise taxes to cover desired spending, and no political will to lower spending to match taxes. So the only answer is for the debt itself to be devalued.

Of course spreadsheets are programming. So are R, Hypercard, Logo, etc. Some programming languages/environments are more useful for some sorts of tasks than others, or are simply infeasible for some tasks. (You wouldn't want to, even if you could, build an ecommerce website in "R" or "Julia" alone but they're both clearly programming languages). Some programming languages might be downright useless.

What does it tell us to say something is a programming language? Whatever it tells us, sure, spreadsheets of the Excel variety are programming languages/environments, of course.

Some audio receivers feature some kind of "baby's asleep" mode that boosts the center channel & vocal-range frequencies while suppressing everything else. Folks who don't want the real Theatrical Experience (which I think is actually most home viewers) probably ought to just leave that mode on all the time.

An alternative for systems without that feature is to just manually boost the center channel.

I'm a software engineer primarily. Postgres is another tool I like to use to solve data problems. I've used it as the backbone of applications in production at terabyte scale. I've architected and been responsible for the deployment of it, both on-prem and in "the cloud" (including the operations of PITR and replicated failover). I've written extensions for it, and hacked on the codebase for internal use.
