They ignore QoS tagging from non-Comcast devices, FYI. I've tried that trick of tagging all my traffic as DSCP 30 (Flash High), and it gets reset to 0 (Best Effort) as soon as it crosses the head-end. This is unfortunately also commonplace for providers and an annoyance to businesses in our new post-pandemic world where they need to appropriate tag collab/voip traffic and it gets reset along the way. Lumen (formerly Level 3) often resets to best effort as soon as you cross into their transit edge from your ISP. These values often do not get carried across peering relationships. QoS across the Internet is not guaranteed.

In the case I'm talking about, it really only matters how Comcast's network treats their direct customers, not how you get treated after, and they absolutely ignore customer QoS (at least on residential links).
> Once the generation counter would ‘overflow’, disable that array slot, so that no new handles are returned for this slot.

This is an interesting idea. When a slot becomes burned this way, you still have lots of other slots in the array. The total number of objects you can ever allocate is the number of slots in the array times the number of generations, which could be tuned such that it won't exhaust for hundreds of years.

You only have to care about total exaustion: no free slot remains in the array: all are either in use, or burned by overflow. In that case, burned slots can be returned into service, and we hope for the best.

If the total exhaustion takes centuries, the safety degradation from reusing burned slots (exposure to undetected use-after-free) is only academic.

This fiasco reminds me of the time Burning Man decided to make tickets on a lottery system. When they did this, everyone panicked and overbought tickets by having friends and family enter the lottery. End result: a lot of the volunteers and groups who actually made Burning Man happen didn't get tickets. Huge fiasco, the BMOrg ended up having to make panicked changes to their plans to ensure that their free labor could actually keep doing free labor.

The parallel here is that reddit is burning their free labor, and honestly the last phase of this is probably the moderators just quitting en masse. When this happens there are two possibilities: new moderators jump in, or reddit uses paid staff to moderate these subs.

If new moderators jump in, there's a good chance they will do a bad job, either unintentionally or on purpose (assuming good behavior from internet strangers is rarely a winning strategy, especially at scale). Either possibility is bad for reddit.

If reddit is forced to use paid staff to handle it, it'll be a cash bonfire and will also expose reddit to a lot of PR headaches where flawed moderation will be blamed directly on reddit. So, torched revenue and reputation damage.

Third possibility is they could learn from Burning Man's mistakes, hire a good PR firm, and listen to them.
Okay so I will pose a simple question and see how quickly I get downvoted to oblivion.

Why is the town of Orania so beautiful, clean, and prosperous while the rest of South Africa is like this? You can watch videos of it on YouTube, it is very nice. Compare it with black towns or major cities in greater South Africa.

Orania is a “whites only” town of about 2500 people. They don’t abuse or extract resources from blacks, they just live separately.

This is the kind of dangerous question that GP is saying one is generally not allowed to ask.

I wonder if developing some kind of grotesque meat tree would be viable. I feel like mechanical support for biological systems is always deficient and costly, but somehow creating a self sustaining plant-like organism that passively produces a meat like thing seems impossible.
I think you are overestimating the difficulty of producing something. Start building stuff as a hobby, and decide that you want to build it as efficiently as possible because you are lazy. You'll quickly realize that building synthesizers and in particular Eurorack modules is easy and cheap if this is what you're focusing on.

What this means: with a Eurorack module, you don't need a case or power supply, since that's provided by the Eurorack "infrastructure". All you need is a "front panel" on your module as well as certain connectors, and probably one of the cheapest ways to build such a front panel is by manufacturing another PCB with the right size and the right holes. You can do that e.g. at JLCPCB, for <1€ per front panel. Building the synthesizer is similarly easy: design the circuit, create a PCB design that uses modern technology and SMT machine assembly, and you can get even "complex" designs manufactured cheaply, to the point that you can even beat Behringer yourself. After all, you don't have to live from selling such modules, and your development time is "free". And the best part: once you have a working design, you can get as many more modules manufactured as you want, for significantly decreasing prices if you manufacture them in slightly larger batches.

To give you an idea, I recently built a small PCB with "transistor ladder filters", but since they are small and cheap, I extended them and made the feedback path voltage controlled and also added a VCA directly after every filter. A PCB with 8 of them, manufactured and assembled at JLCPCB, cost around 30€. For completeness, this was for a 8 voice polyphonic Eurorack synthesizer module, which means this PCB didn't need any knobs/buttons/jacks/displays. Meanwhile Behringer sells a single "Moog VCF" in Eurorack format for >100€.
My experience is (as a former dev, current ops) that the problem isn’t that dev and ops people aren’t speaking the same language, nor the tooling or processes.

The problem comes from the management/business side. They hire devs and tell them that ship features as fast as you can. Also they hire ops guys and tell them that I want this whole thing super reliable, we can’t afford a minute downtime.

In my opinion this is why DevOps is mostly pointless. We are trying to fix with tooling, processes, new tech, and fancy roles the fact that business people don’t want to make compromises or choose between the pace of delivery and reliability.

Stats don't say everything, and doesn't negate my opinion of the place where I currently live. Most of those murder stats are unfortunately from poor areas and affecting the poor populace. Us in the middle and upper class don't get affected as much by the crime, we live in protective cages, gated communities, have private healthcare, don't use public transport and have 24/7 security.

I'm not saying SA doesn't have crime, I'm saying it's easy to avoid and I prefer it this way vs what is present in supposedly western countries.
Because you're not talking about that thing that ops people are talking about. We build reliable systems. You're talking about reliable software. Ops people come from the perspective that all software is inherently unreliable including your app, especially your app and have to work within those constraints.

Terraform and Ansible look like gyroscopes compared to the build process of any modern software stack. We offered our dev teams a

There is 100% that. Any frame can have an 'export' set on it, where you specificy the format (svg, png ..), suffix, pixel density etc. The name will be set by the name of the frame, and '/' creates nested folders. Then on any page can go file->export to export all assets at once.

But if you're using some icon library that a designer has imported into figma like remix-icon, just import from the library directly in code. Importing and rexporting the svg would likely change it slightly.

Would you mind listing a few alternatives you use? I generally try to avoid Amazon when I can, but have had problems finding a general good site.

In case anyone is wondering what I use, here's a short list:

Computer/electronics, I visit Newegg. (I haven't been thrilled with them moving into other areas like Auto parts, etc. but they seem alright for the time being.)

Hardware or similar, I go with Tractor Supply Co, Home Depot, or Lowes.

Music, I go with 7Digital.

Car stuff, I have used NAPA in the past, but I hate that they don't store order history for over 1 year. Also, their search function is not great, and their selection is somewhat limited.

General stuff, I've tried to use Walmart for stuff like pillows or sheets or whatever, but most of the stuff they offer is also offered by Amazon, and Amazon is usually stocked better and generally a few dollars cheaper. I've been weary of trying out sites like Aliexpress.

It's frustrating because it seems like Amazon just generally has a larger selection than most other offerings out there. For more niche subjects, I feel like I have some reasonable options, but when it comes to more broad subjects, it feels like it's Amazon or nothing.

> No, you spent $50,000 buying labor vs. $50,000 aquiring machines and parts to build widgets, your taxes and the taxes on the people you bought from would be higher in the labor case.

Why is that?

The taxes paid would be the same here. If we say the rate is 10%, labour case would pay a straight $5,000. In the machine case the business selling it might profit $5,000, so they would pay $500, and $25,000 in labour costs to produce the machine, so they would pay $2,500, and $20,000 in materials gets divvied up in the same manner, leaving another $2,000. 500 + 2500 + 2000 = $5,000.

> No, the human equivalent of capital gains is capital gains

Okay, but then from that perspective the capital gains tax rate is always the same capital gains rate no matter what. The earlier comment suggested there were different rates. I guess that isn't the case.

For fun comparison, my experience was the opposite. Somewhere in the height of everything going on in 2020 I realized I'd not had a package delivered that was Prime qualified in more than a year. In 2020 and trying 'never' to leave the house!

I was still using a few things like Twitch benefits and the random video streaming (though I was upset at their cancelling shows I enjoyed and paying a lot of money for shows I disliked). With new seasons of a couple shows I haven't seen I'd almost pay a month for just video streaming here or there, but the dark patterns when I cancelled have made me feel like I don't expect to ever sign up for Prime again.

I'm no expert on the matter, but it will likely never be competitive with real meat in either taste or price:

- You need a lot of expensive equipment and chemicals to grow fake meat. A chicken just needs food and water.

- You need extreme cleanliness to grow fake meat or else you're just growing bacteria. Animals have an immune system and can deal with minor threats.

- Cells don't exist in a vacuum. You need to deliver nutrients and remove waste. Animals have lungs, blood vessels, kidneys, and all the other organs needed to maintain the entire biological system which has been optimized over millions of years.

- Meat isn't just muscle cells, it's a very complicated structure. Growing separate cells and mushing them together will never give you the same taste.

The only real equivalent would be if you could grow a chicken without a brain.

> No need to breed animals that can’t even support their own weight and spend their entire short lives suffering in darkness, crowded in cages with other suffering beings, awaiting death.

If that bothers you, there are always more expensive ways to eat real meat.

The video resonated with me. Looking back I think that I studied pure math in further education because I thought that others perceived it as the hardest subject you could study and therefore would think highly of me for studying it. I think that motivated me much longer than Sanderson too, as I think it's the main reason I started my PhD in a topic that probably wasn't the most interesting to me. Along the way I developed an appreciation for the innate beauty of the subject but these days I find it much more rewarding to work on something that's useful to someone else no matter whether it's particularly easy or hard.

The sad thing about wasting your youth trying to be seen as smart or successful is that later in life you'll probably have much less freedom of choice in what to work on.

I live in London and use public transport all the time.

Don't need to bring tribal politics into it. SA suppressed something like 90% of the population for decades, and then handed over control. Now the government is completely dominated by a single party. That's a recipe for disaster no matter what color your skin is, or what region you live in.
That could be, but then how does that line up with labour? Labour is taxed on the productive output, just like the productive output of capital is taxed (at least in this country; I am not up on the US tax code). Capital gains is an additional tax placed on capital. There is no corresponding tax placed on labour.
I feel like that's itching for a challenge on First Amendment grounds. Banning the study of a major world religion seems beyond the pail.
And I’m not even sure if haven perfect pitch helps this much in playing existing music on an instrument. You still need the routine and practice to move your hands fast and accurate (which for me learning to play the guitar is the much bigger problem than understanding what notes to play)

Is absolute pitch actually a desirable skill? I'm a total amateur but from my perspective once your instrument is tuned up and you have some sort of reference point it makes more sense to think about things in relative terms. Like I don't really care what the actual chord I'm playing is, I just care that about what the root note is relative to the last chord I played, what quality the chord is (major, minor, any additional colorful interval added), and the maybe if it's inverted.

Like if I learn a song and then for whatever reason I have to change what key it's in, all I gotta do is start playing a couple steps higher and lower and then I'm good. But if I had thought in absolute terms, I would be screwed.

Am I off base here? I just play for fun I don't know.
not sure if I agree that having AP ensures that learning music will be easy. at least for contemporary western music, identifying and producing a pitch is a nearly useless skill compared to identifying and producing intervals (relative pitch)
