Hi Melty, Would you be open for junior roles or internship as well?
EDNS makes a huge difference as many CDNS still use it.

Here is a test I did 4 years back. https://blog.miyuru.lk/edns-geo-table-2019/

I have a tinfoil-hat theory that CF removed EDNS support to make other CDNs slow and make their own CDN look good, but if there's a CF POP nearby it does not make much difference.
Why? Sounds sketchy. You will find it much harder to do business
Why is it easier to filter through the agendas of journalists instead of the experts themselves? As professional mouthpieces, journalists are more likely to have agendas, not less. Recent history has show that journalist are more interested in activism than is integrity.

I feel like what you're saying is true in some platonic ideal, but it's very far from reality.
Privacy Framework draft isn't 'future-proof', say MEPs
My simplistic analogy: Eigenvectors are the bones (and shape) of the skeleton, and Eigenvalues are the relative sizes of the bones.
New front end frameworks that claim leaps in simplicity feel like the violate some kind of no free lunch principle to me. If they’re that simple, then I’m willing to bet they make some use cases very difficult or impossible
Bohemians and the art of doing nothing
It may be true, but as of now there's a lot of arbitrage to go around for those who earn a hcol wage and move to mcol or lcol areas.
> time travel

Really not the same. Time travel is hardly achievable and has a crisp goal. Artificial Intelligence, on the contrary, has been producing results since the start, and there are (there have been) entire businesses based on it.

> uncharitable

I was being «uncharitable» in front of the depiction of "masses discovering with surprise things that would have been noted by exploitation of the information available (and never had been as available as it is today)", also because on practical terms I find this unawareness of the world socially dangerous.
Twitter is absolutely chock full of bozos, and while you being able to filter them out is benefit to using the platform, the drawback is that many of them are greatly empowered by it. To follow your example, Trump's relationship with Twitter is well documented - maybe you wouldn't have had to filter him out in the first place if not for his ability to directly reach the public, or the public's avid interest in the kind of drama that he likes to involve himself in.

I'm not talking about individual utility, I'm talking about societal effects.

Nominative determinism strikes again.
To quote the actual report [1]:

> Of all internet traffic in 2022, 47.4% was automated traffic, also commonly referred to as bots. [...] Of that automated traffic, 30.2% were bad bots, a 2.5% increase from 27.7% in 2021

This is a bit misleading, according to the accompanying pie chart, 30.2% of all traffic were bad bots, not 30% of the 47.4%.

What is sorely lacking (from a quick skim of the PDF) is a detailed description of how the data was measured, what protocol it includes, what the error margins are etc.

"If it is an attack, why use Chinese IP addresses?"

Because there is nothing, you can do about it anyway?

Even if you could proof, it is an attack, do you really would consider sueing some chinese IP adresses?

But I rather suspect, it is just bad crawler code.
When I was visiting a relative in New Jersey, we had on a local channel and *every other commercial* was for some sports betting thing. DraftKings, Caesars, etc. It made me actually miss those Ashley Furniture and Haverty’s commercials.

Anyway, getting the nation hooked on gambling seems like a disaster. More Americans than ever are convinced the only way to achieve upward class mobility is to win the lottery. At the same time, most Americans are in debt, and the Fed is trying to pop the unemployment rate.

My experience with them is via their shady false donation-match mailings, as well as copy cat spam even after unsubscribing and asking to be removed.

Further, looking into their payment records they have rarely contributed to anything outside themselves and have no documentation regarding any mailings or any actions related from their fundraising. Further their fundraising mailings specifically state numerous actions they'll undertake as well as distributions, to candidates, none of which seems to actually be happening despite what they claim in their fundraising.

According to my rough napkin math, seems more than 80% of the funds raised goes to pay themselves. Those funds would be much better spent on the actual actions they profess versus inflated operations costs, and fundraising process on loop.
I am definitely a fan of HTMX.
As far as I can tell, retirement for many gen X who didn't manage to get a property and won't inherit means poverty and homelessness unless they can miraculously keep high-paying work to cover the cost of rent until they die. Their too small pension won't cover the rent by then because rent has risen and is still rising much faster.

Nursing home? They can't afford long term stay due to lack of assets, but what about the decade or two after retirement age when a nursing home wouldn't be appropriate anyway?

Seems to me the renting-class gen Xers approaching retirement are just going to have to keep working long past retirement age, while it gets more and more difficult, and their housing stays precarious because they can't get a mortgage due to age. I think this is a hidden, underappreciated issue because people tend to think of property-owning gen Xers with a paid-off mortgage, and don't realise how many gen X never made it onto the property ladder.

Ok… I’m not saying it’s good or bad. I’m just saying people should know their place and be realistic. The best way to practice your morals (I’m religious) is in your own enterprise.

You can bust your ass all you want but ultimately if you’re not in the shareholder class (again not the 200k bonus you got that’s chump change) you are a resource. A pod. That can be taken offline immediately.

Go start your own business that you run with good morals. That’s what I did.

I far enjoy the gains from that than any 400k plus TC job where I’m just a cog. And btw I’ve never received less than a EE or equivalent rating. Still been affected by dumb company wide policies.
Yes, in my experience, scope is a huge issue for beginners. This is why environments like blockly and scratch out so much effort into reifying scope with colorful blocks that “snap” together, so that scope becomes something more tangible.
Group bonding by identify an "out group" (1) and vilifying "them" is common and very human. Terrible and toxic in the modern world, but so human.

As is "the vanity of small differences". Viewed from a distance, "people who write software" are all of much the same group.

I try not to do it. I prefer Scott Hanselmans's take (2)

"Learn any programming language. ... pick a programming language, learn it, see if it feeds your spirit. If you don't like it, pick a different one.

Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale [pdf]
I figure there must just be a personality difference that explains this stuff.

I can't fathom it. I do better in the office not at home, I do better in the gym not in my home gym, I do better cycling if I'm with others, I push harder doing basically anything if I'm competing, if I'm in a team, if someone is watching. Particularly if they're attractive, respectable, etc.

There's an effect from the setting. My home gym just isn't the same as a proper place with music blazing and guys/girls supporting each other. And the physical - the travel and the location - reinforce in my mind that this is serious time.

Every now and then I like to do stuff alone sure. But too much of it and it feels like playing with toys on your own. Family don't understand the work you do in the same way.

To me it's about as obvious as the sun rising. But not everyone feels this way, it seems.
I'm sort of glad I didn't have an internet connection at home until I was 17, because I only got any contact with the attitude criticized in the post when I was already largely past teenage angst.

My experience is that gatekeepers often exaggerate the difficulty and importance of whatever it is that they're gatekeeping, be it languages, language paradigms or even architectures.

It's useful to call them out on this in particular when you're knowledgeable yourself.

My favourite example of this is people dismissing a language because its type system is unsound. The vast majority of people who brought this up in front of me couldn't explain how that prevents anyone from shipping products.
Not niche by impact; niche by threat to oneself when one is looking to move somewhere less dangerous because one is looking to make positive life decisions and keen on self- and family-preservation.
I mean, that's a way to justify no criticism against ≈anything popular or successful. There's a lot of criticism aimed at the IBMs, Oracles and government agencies of the world, but they're getting a lot done—does that mean they're so much better or more effective than the alternatives and don't deserve their criticism?

Things just need to be good enough to succeed, and that's a pretty low bar. The whole point and value of criticism is making a more nuanced judgement than "popular and successful = good".
I don't care, why should I?

Damn this topic really brings out the cranks. Just look at the comments section of that article.

I'll second this (over a decade of low to moderate activity). I've seen contention of course, discussions do occasionally get heated, but territorialism doesn't appear anywhere near as frequently as I've seen in similar projects, like OSM.

How do you integrate it with your server-side rendering part?
It’s worse than that as over half of all internet traffic is video streaming. Bots simply aren’t a significant fraction of Netflix, D+, HBO Max etc because there’s no point.

47% of website requests might be more accurate.

Was any previously unknown info about Google leaked in the memo, that only an insider could know? If not, then why does it even matter that a googler wrote it? If "Anonymous" wrote the doc and uploaded it to pastebin, would you lend it the same credence you are to this doc?
I doubt that's the case for 8 year olds. C requires a mental model of more hidden abstractions than something like Small Basic (a decent grasp of pointers is kind of non-negotiable). I mean the Array and Stack objects in Small Basic sound like they would be a lot easier to handle for a beginner than anything equivalent in C.

They are running a phase 2 trial for this right now (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04528680?term=Sonaben...). It's scheduled to complete in late 2025. Phase 3 will probably be a few years past that, and then probably at least a year or two for approval.

That said, the clinical trial is for the combination of a drug treatment + implantable device. The implantable device itself (Sonocloud 9) has been granted fast track status by the FDA (https://www.fusfoundation.org/posts/cartheras-sonocloud-9-sy...). The fast track status should help speed up how quickly the FDA authorizes the overall treatment once clinical trials are complete.

So... completely pulling a number out of my butt, probably 5-7 years.

FYI: I am not the OP who originally said that the "human brain is the most complex object in the known universe".

I'm not interested in discussing complexity, just the foundations of productive (and polite!) discussion and debate. So we'll go our separate ways here. I would probably agree with you with respect to the brain not being the most complex physical system.
This happened to be one of my first Internet experiences at a computer lab at U of T, while my dad was doing post-grad work.
Reading the paper I think they used both SVDquartets (coalescence-based explicitly for ILS) and concatenation + maximum likelihood, which is a very sane combination for the analysis. Not contradicting you here, but at their scale it is unlikely any Bayesian approach will converge, so they had to settle with whatever they had to quantify uncertainty (branch supports and others).

Edit: and also the Bayesian approaches might have model mismatch, for example I am not sure what's an accurate Bayesian method that models hybridization and ILS

I've found that if they brag about how easy it is to get started, it usually ends up messy relatively quickly. On the other hand, if they brag about being easy to order when you have a lot of code, it's usually a bit harder to get started with.

It's like you get to chose one of "get started quickly" or "remain quick enough on the medium/long term"
I want privacy. Privacy isn't a crime. It's possibly a foundation to freedom of speech.

Apple's "networkQuality" tool (or the open source alternative that you can run in other operating systems: https://github.com/network-quality/goresponsiveness) is very useful to understand how your connection behaves under extreme conditions, but extreme conditions is not something home connections see regularly, so make sure to use a combination of tools if you want to understand how your home connection behaves under expected use.

It's more of an art than a science, really, and your ISP may be optimizing for more average use cases.

Personally, I like to start with a regular web-based speed test (I'm biased towards https://speed.cloudflare.com, but any test that shows latency under load is OK, like https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat or https://fast.com [1]) and then combine it with "networkQuality" running concurrently (if possible, from a different host) and see how it impacts the numbers.

Of course, this only makes sense if you have your own router running (for example) OpenWRT where you can enable active queue management (SQM/AQM) and actually do something to improve the results [2].

[1] In more recent times I'm finding fast.com to be a bit unreliable, as some ISPs may treat Netflix traffic specially (like allowing for longer bursts over contracted speeds, etc. — net neutrality notwithstanding).

[2] I highly recommend this last option if you can. In my case, it allows me to be able to run "networkQuality" during a video call (over WiFi even) without any visible degradation. See: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/...

Author of sixel-tmux (and of the matching rant) here.

Your description of sixels using words like 'cosplaying' or 'late 90s japanese cellphone' is not very technical. It seems biased. In any case, it would be better than being stuck with the 60s "text only" VT100 like protocols.

We can talk about technicalities, as some people do not like how sixels work under the hood, but... they work fine: I can play video in my terminals. I use gnuplot everyday.

Could it be done better by a protocol that would use compression and other features? Maybe. But does it have to be? Why should we waste time reinventing the wheel when locally there's plenty of bandwidth, and remotely too often enough?

Personally, I like sixels because prefer a standard that is well defined, and can't change on someone whim: I like stable interfaces.

I think users are unfairly held back due to biases like the one you demonstrated, and that seem very common in the free software world, which was the point of my rant: there is no logical reason sixels couldn't be offered today in gnome terminal if the key people making sure that doesn't happen changed their mind.

I have no idea either, but most mobile/residential proxy providers heavily charge bandwidth [1]. I'd imagine that you can bot views on twitch without streaming the video, since the iOS twitch app offers audio-/chat-only modes, so just connecting to the chat (+ mb some other obfuscated stuff) could be sufficient to bot views.

If you want to start a business and sell stuff to other people, you give up some privacy. Private (anonymous) companies typically do bad things, which is why, as a society, we don't want to work with companies like this.
Yes, definitely, for professionals anyone needing to ask the question might consider some introspection.
The point for me personally is the same as why I find it so powerful to self host SMTP, IMAP, HTTP. It’s in my hands, I know where it all begins and ends. I answer to no one.

For LLMs this means I am allowed their full potential. I can generate smut, filth, illegal content of any kind for any reason. It’s for me to decide. It’s empowering, it’s the hacker mindset.
I doubt that given how widely used on servers it is.
Caste based discrimination is illegal in India, but erstwhile lower castes are given academic and job reservations as a form of socio-economic equity. But as with a lot of government schemes this provision gets abused to some degree and many upper caste people claim that as "discrimination".

That being said, there is no enforcement of the "no-caste" policy so in many smaller towns/villages the caste system is still widely practiced and lower caste folks discriminated/beaten/killed/etc.
So who gets the megaphone, those who support the platform, or the ideological moderators behind the scenes?

Arguments should be evaluated by their logical soundness, not by who said them.
Software is such a vast industry with a lot of different goals, viewpoints, and tools. Such a close-minded and wasteful statement, I find it hard to believe you are as successful as you say. Something is only a waste of time if you get nothing out of it, but that's not for you to determine for someone else.

I find out interesting how the word responsibility is rooted in “to respond”. Responsible is not the person who is to be punished for what happened, but who is able to respond to it, i.e. make the best out of it.

This etymology also works in other languages - for instance, in German: “Ver-Antwort-ung”.
I had to open the article to understand what it was about. The initialism is ambiguous; I thought someone might be trying to shorten GitHub Copilot and was curious to see how the team behind it was optimizing its speed. I would have been much more enlightened.

If you’re attempting to share something with an audience not steeped in your jargon, it’s usually better practice to lead with the full then shorten later.
